ORTOFON MC-1 Turbo high output moving coil, elliptical

High output moving coil cartridge, elliptical diamond stylus.

Ortofon is the world's leading manufacturer of moving coil cartridges. The secret behind the MC Turbo cartridges can be summed up in one word - precision. The four moving coils for this series are wound with incredibly thin copper wire with a diameter of just one third the thickness of a human hair. Copper wire thsi thin makes it possible to increase the number of windings and the output voltage - without compromising the low moving mass and unique sonic qualities of Ortofon moving coil designs.An extremely powerful samarium cobalt magnet creates a strong field of inductance around the coils, further increasing the output voltage.

"Though not exactly my cup of tea, this Ortofon MC1 can be the right choice for many audiophiles (Music lovers) who are in the market for an inexpensive high-output MC cart with a warm, relaxed sound, with good bass and tracking ability." TNT Audio
