Description
This model features the same Nude Fine Line elliptical diamond stylus mounted on an aluminium cantilever as Kontrapunkt a.
This cartridge employs Ortofon’s innovative FSE (Field Stabilizing Element) for exceptionally open bass and midrange with smooth, natural overtones. Recommended to enthusiasts who value tonally neutral reproduction of high-quality recordings over the more expressive handling of dynamic high-frequency detail of the Kontrapunkt c.
