The Ortofon MC Diamond Cartridge delivers unmatched performance and accuracy thus providing an entirely new level of experience for listeners- a titanium body, optimized magnet system, diamond cantilever, and new rubber suspension. This cartridge uses the Ortofon Replicant 100 diamond - a Line Contact type stylus- which has a narrow and long contact surface, and is as close as possible to the original cutting stylus. This ensures the most accurate reproduction, lowest distortion, and extended frequency range. This cartridge is dedicated to Opera Diva Anna Netrebko, a virtuoso whose performance displays a formidable technical arsenal of endless versatility. This emphasizes Ortofon's unchanging commitment to music and the purest delivery of sound.
