Overview
A powerful wide-band sound model featuring a lively feeling of popping. An ambitious work using a cantilever made of tapered aluminum alloy and an elliptical diamond needle. Characterized by a firm sound.
Nagaoka MP-150 comes with a superfine polished elliptical diamond stylus tip on a low mass, hardened, tapered aluminum alloy Cantilever. This midrange priced Nagaoka MP-150 already has the matureness of the more expensive siblings. A rich warm and wide soundstage with punchy bass and natural sounding vocals.
Being a permalloy magnet principle cartridge you can replace the stylus for a reasonable cost when it is worn out. You can even upgrade to the boron cantilever stylus from MP-200 for even clearer high fidelity.
