Ortofon Cadenza Black

One of our favourite higher end cartridges. The Cadenza Black is very much in the mould of the classic Ortofons of old ... beautifully made with exceptional attention to detail.

The Black has the exceptional clarity and control that high end Ortofons like the MC3000 were renowned for, but also has the warmth an musicality to pull the best out of even a mediocre recording.

We can offer a very generous trade in on your old MC cartridge against a new Ortofon ... give us a call on 01270 580734 for details
