ORTOFON MC CADENZA BRONZE

Pre owned. Comes with its original case, but without the original packaging.

The Cadenza Bronze is a true reference cartridge that embodies all of Ortofon’s engineering expertise. Designed to deliver superior listening, it reproduces music with extreme precision, powerful dynamics, and a wealth of detail that envelops the listener. The Replicant 100 stylus, mounted on a conical aluminum cantilever, ensures accurate groove contact, while the Aucurum 6NX gold-plated copper wire provides a pure and transparent signal.

Thanks to the Field Stabilizing Element, linearity remains consistent even in the most complex passages, with crescendos developing in a controlled and natural way. The soundstage opens up in three dimensions, with wide and well-defined stereo imaging that reveals both depth and spatial placement of every musical detail. Its excellent tracking ability and reduced surface noise make it ideal for anyone seeking refined sound that combines technical accuracy with emotional engagement. The Cadenza Bronze thus stands out as a privileged choice for those who want to get the very best from their vinyl collection.
