Product Description
The Ortofon Cadenza Black (upto 20% discount available for exchange with your old Ortofon cartridge) is the flagship phono cartridge in Ortofon's Cadenza range, and boy were we blown away by it's performance, a stunning model that redefines performance in replacing the Kontrapunkt C. It offers the best of an Ortofon moving coil design - a wide soundstage, excellent dynamics and detail, with a wider frequency range and smoother sound which is unmistakably high end, which is to say it's just music, pure and simple.
We felt this cartridge puts you fully in the audience, with a level of transparency which gave us goosebumps. If you really want to know how good vinyl can sound on a good turntable, give the Cadenza Black a try and you'll enjoy hours of musical pleasure.
