ORTOFON MC CADENZA BLUE

ORTOFON MC CADENZA BLUE

Cadenza, derived from the Italian word “cadence”, refers to a section within a musical performance, typically a concerto, in which the orchestra ends its playing and allows the soloist to play independently and unhindered by a strict rhythmic pattern.

The Cadenza Blue is true to the music with tremendous clarity.

The Cadenza Blue model uses a Nude FG 70 needle with a very thin ruby ​​cantilever. The coils are made of 6NX (99.9999%) pure silver wire. An improved winding process on the anchor allows for better channel balance.

The soundstage of the Cadenza Blue is wide open and terrific right out of the box. Microdynamics and atmosphere become clear when listening to complex compositions. It achieves a very high level of definition in perspective that is very present.
