When it really has to be perfect

The Ortofon MC Cadenza Black is technically based in its details on the Ortofon MC Cadenza Bronze. However, it uses an ultra-light and, at the same time, extremely rigid boron cantilever, which allows for further improved dynamic performance compared to the MC Cadenza Bronze. The nude diamond with a Shibata profile used in this cartridge is the icing on the cake. Compared to a bonded diamond, a nude diamond has a lower moving mass. Due to the lower inertia, the stylus can follow the groove modulation more easily.
