NAGAOKA MP-200 MP 200 MP200 PHONO CARTRIDGE
The Nagaoka MP-200 is a cartridge of musical contrasts. On one hand, it is a very refined cartridge that offers an organic, fluid presentation with an engaging midrange reproduction of vocals and instruments, and superbly smooth highs. On the other hand, it retains the detail, luster, dynamics, and presence of music that are so often buried and attenuated by smooth-sounding cartridges. It is this ability to engage music with its contrasts that make the MP-200 so endearing, involving and extraordinary when compared to its price peers and beyond.
For many, this is the final cartridge to own given its affordability and ROME (return on musical enjoyment).
