Nagaoka MP-500H MM cartridge + headshell
Nagaoka's flagship cartridge model. Samarium Cobalt / Moving Permalloy structure.
A line contact stylus mounted on a boron cantilever, a fiberglass-reinforced body, a metal mounting flange, and a screw-fixed stylus unit ensure exceptional structural rigidity and enable remarkably clean detail reproduction.
The Nagaoka MP-500 is the top choice when seeking the most natural reproduction from high output cartridges!
The Nagaoka MP-500 is able to deliver the high frequencies with a realism not yet seen at this price point. Specifically with well recorded jazz music, drums, especially cymbals, hold their place in the sound stage perfectly. Vocals are brought through without a hint of pushiness, and bass tones are accurately portrayed. Without question, this cartridge is a solid performer in its price range.
Founded in 1940, the Japanese company Nagaoka meticulously manufactures its cartridges in-house from start to finish, also acting as a subcontractor for many major brands. The company's operations include the precision machining of metals, magnetic materials, and precious stone materials.
Nagaoka's globally acclaimed cartridges and audio accessories represent the traditional high standard of Japanese quality.
