Product Description
The Ortofon Cadenza Red is a great sounding MC cartridge, an excellent entry level into the Cadenza world.
The Cadenza Red features a nude fine line stylus with a cylindrical aluminium cantilever. The internal coils are made from 6NX (99.9999%) pure silver wire. An improved winding process on the armature allows a better channel balance for good stereo imaging.
