Cadenza Black is the best of everything true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording.FeaturesNude Shibata StylusBoron CantileverWide Range Damping SystemGold-Plated Aucurum Coil WireDetailed Sound StagingHigh-Resolution Groove InsightAccuracy LevelThe Cadenza Black model is using a Nude Shibata stylus with a boron cantilever. The effective mass of the stylus/cantilever system is extremely low due to the use of a very thin boron rod. This material is extremely stiff and even more lightweight than aluminum.Wide Range DampingIt also uses the WRD/Wide Range Damping-system applied for MC Windfeld MC A90 MC Anna Xpression and MC A95 cartridges controlling the high and low frequency damping separately. The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire which is a gold-plated 6NX copper wire. The Cadenza Black is high-performing on areas like detail consistency and sound staging.The Cadenza SeriesAt Ortofon we constantly look for new technology to be used in our products and push the performance of existing technology.
