The Nagaoka MP-110 is a Moving Permalloy cartridge with a full, balanced and engaging musical presentation. Its superfine polished elliptical diamond accurately follows the record groove, while the lightweight aluminium-alloy cantilever responds quickly to subtle musical changes. With a healthy 5 mV output, the MP-110 connects directly to a standard MM phono input. It is an excellent Japanese upgrade for listeners seeking greater detail, dynamics and composure from their record collection without moving to a low-output MC system.
