Music playback at ease

The sound image of the Ortofon MC Cadenza Red has an immediately relaxing effect on the listener. Less surface noise, a homogeneous frequency distribution, and effortless dynamics make hi-fi feel like music therapy. The excellent spatial imaging in both width and depth reinforces the impression of being there.

The diamond is "nude" mounted – such a "nude" diamond has less moving mass compared to a bonded diamond. Due to the lower inertia, the stylus can follow the groove modulation more easily. The slender Fine Line profile also reads more information from the groove compared to a rounder cut.
