Ortofon Cadenza Blue MC Cartridge

The Blue model is using a Nude FG 70 stylus with a very thin ruby cantilever. The improved winding process of the armature ensures better channel balance. The soundstage of Cadenza Blue is wide and open and grandiose out of the box. Micro dynamic and ambience with be evident when listening to complex compositions. It reaches a very high degree of defination in the perspective, which is very present. It is true to the music with a tremendous clarity.
