About the Cadenza Black
The Ortofon Cadenza Black is a premium moving coil phono cartridge renowned for its detailed sound reproduction, dynamics, and purity. It features a Nude Shibata stylus mounted on a boron cantilever, which provides an extremely low effective mass due to the stiffness and lightness of boron. The cartridge uses gold-plated 6NX copper wire to minimize distortion and incorporates a Wide Range Damping system (WRD) for precise control over high and low frequency damping.
