Product Details
Product Overview & Specifications
The MC-1 has a new magnet system and the wire for winding the coil is the same as the MC-2.
Due to the new magnet system and the wire being used, it has a lighter weight (which makes it compatible with the majority of tonearms), higher internal impedance and lower output compared to the MC-1. Besides the above, the suspension system has been changed to a stiffer one. Therefore, the compliance is less than the original.
The new cartridge sounds silkier, more delicate, open and refined than the former. Resolution has been improved as well.
