Ortofon Cadenza Blue

Recently, the audiophile public has become increasingly demanding, finding such good reproducing that will deliver the music to the listener in the same quality as it was created is a bit of a challenge. However, there is a wide range of products on the modern audio market, equipment from all sorts of sound brands that can satisfy even very demanding users. The Danish company Ortofon prides itself on producing amazing transfers that can take compatible turntables up a level beyond what one might expect. Usually the MC cartridge body is made of stainless steel and aluminum, the low-output and Nude fine line tip further enhance their efficiency and effectiveness.

• MC transmission
• Adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more detail
• The sound performance of the transducer is grandiose and open
• Microdynamics are evident when listening to complex tracks
• Nude FG 70 tip with a very thin ruby cantilever
• The coil is made of silver 6NX (99.9999% purity)
• Improved winding process on the rotor improves channel balance

Tour of the technical facilities

In the data area, all important parameters and features should be mentioned. The Ortofon Cadenza Blue, as the name suggests, is constructed in a black and blue colour scheme. But what is more important is the frequency range of 20 - 50,000 Hz, the internal impedance, the DC resistance is 5 Ohm. The recommended impedance load is 50 - 200 Ohm. As for the Nude fine line tip, its tip radius is r/R 6/70. The pressure range is 2.2 - 2.7 g (22 - 27 mN), with a recommended contact force of 2.5 g (25 mN). The size of the viewing angle is 20 ˚. The carrier is fine, weighing only 10.7 g.

MC versus MM

Moving Coil is the designation for a system that works by moving coils - one that is not much used, but is unusual and exceptional. It's good to know that the bobbin will oscillate a smaller set of coils made of special materials. Therefore, the weight of the product is low, or lower than the weight of MM transmissions. Moving Magnet, on the other hand, is a system based on the magnet's mobility. Transmissions, whether MC or MM, are not simple devices, the complexity, material and parameters further determine their price level. A technically proficient user can manage the replacement of a spike shaker if he/she is at least a little familiar with the device so specified.

Orthophonic quality guaranteed

A company with history and tradition, founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1918, bears the proud name of Ortofon. Initially specialising in the production and production of film sound, the company successfully developed over time and, thanks to its professional team, produced its first moving coil transmission in 1948. Later, it launched more than 300 different types of transmissions. Up to the present day, this successful company can boast of quite high quality audio goods that are exported all over the world. Ortofon guarantees the origin of its products and components by means of certification strips that testify to originality and correctness. In this way, the proliferation of non-original products and accessories can be easily prevented, as the authenticity of the product can be easily verified. As an added bonus, it also comes with a three-year warranty, including after-sales service and support directly from the manufacturer. The core objective, the priority of the corporate strategy and philosophy of the Danish company is to get as close as possible to a satisfied clientele and to provide them with only high quality, top quality goods.

Turntable in the spotlight again

It's no secret that vinyl music is green again. Modern, but also stylish, classic or retro turntables are once again in the sights of many audiophiles who are tired of streaming services. The new world of vinyl records brings quality as well as good, accurate and powerful turntables, without which the final effect would not be possible at all. Let's put a turntable in your apartment, and put a Cadenza Blue quality MC turntable in it. Blue is a good...
