The Ortofon Cadenza Black Moving Coil Cartridge is optimised for amazing tonal neutrality, dynamics and purity of sound.
The Cadenza Black model uses a Nude Shibata stylus with a boron cantilever. The effective mass of the stylus/cantilever system is extremely low due to the use of a very thin boron rod. This material is extremely stiff and even more lightweight than aluminium.
It also uses the WRD/Wide Range Damping-system applied for MC Windfeld, MC A90, MC Anna, Xpression and MC A95 cartridges, controlling the high and low frequency damping separately.
Condition - Excellent
The condition of this cartridge are excellent. It was mounted in a Pro-Ject RMP 10 turntable for demonstration purposes.
