Rather than using a single damping compound for the entire frequency range, WRD controls high-frequency and low-frequency damping independently, allowing the cartridge to maintain composure and tracking at both extremes of the audio band without compromise. Cobalt-iron pole pieces and an improved armature winding process further refine the generator's efficiency and linearity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAucurum Coil Wire — Gold-Plated 6NX Copper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe generator coils are wound with \u003cstrong\u003eOrtofon Aucurum wire\u003c\/strong\u003e — a gold-plated 6NX (six-nines purity) copper wire developed specifically to minimise distortion in the coil winding.

Its 5Ω internal impedance and recommended load of \u0026gt;10Ω makes it compatible with most quality MC phono stages.

This covers most quality tonearms including Rega, SME, Ortofon, and many others. The resonance frequency with a 10g effective mass tonearm falls comfortably within the 8–12Hz optimal range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Shibata stylus and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shibata stylus profile — developed by Norio Shibata at JVC in the early 1970s for quadraphonic playback — makes four-point contact with the groove wall rather than the two-point contact of an elliptical. This wider contact patch retrieves more groove information, particularly at high frequencies, and distributes the stylus load over a larger area to reduce record and stylus wear. The Cadenza Black's nude Shibata is mounted directly on the boron cantilever without an intermediate shank, minimising moving mass for maximum resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Ortofon Cadenza Black and Cadenza Bronze?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cadenza Black is the flagship of the Cadenza Series and uses a nude Shibata stylus on a boron cantilever — a more revealing and high-resolving combination than the Cadenza Bronze's nude Replicant 100 stylus on an aluminium cantilever. The Black has a slightly lower output (0.3mV vs 0.5mV) and requires a higher-gain phono stage. The Black is suited to listeners seeking maximum detail and soundstage depth; the Bronze offers a slightly warmer presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Ortofon Cadenza Black in Toronto, Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ortofon Cadenza Black is available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.

Correct azimuth is established by observing the reflected image of the 2 parallel cartridge front lines. The cartridge’s front lines must form a straight line with the reflected lines. A flat mirror may also be used to facilitate this process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 4 sets of screws included for mounting the cartridge to your tonearm. It is of great importance to choose the correct length of screws when mounting the cartridge.  Using too long screws may stop the screws inside the cartridge resulting in insufficient mounting in the headshell. The choice of screw length depends on the thickness of the headshell, and a maximum of 2.5 mm free screw length under the headshell. Mount the cartridge loosely to the headshell during this procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-section=\"4682\" class=\"spacing__top--medium spacing__bottom--medium\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-image__container--extended theme-transparent-white\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-image__container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-image__column-text is-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-image__content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-image__header\"\u003eSTYLUS RAKE ANGLE (SRA)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a complex stylus shape like the Replicant 100, there must be special attention paid to positioning the diamond in the groove.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Stylus Rake Angle (SRA - see figure) is very important to the performance of the Replicant 100 stylus, and the long contact surface (the sharp edge) of the diamond should be almost perpendicular to the record surface when viewed from the side.  The angle between the record surface and the cantilever is close to 23 degrees when SRA is 90 degrees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA perfect starting point is to set the tonearm parallel to the record surface and to use the recommended tracking force. The contact surface will be close to perpendicular to the record surface with this setting. The SRA can now gradually and carefully be changed be adjusting VTF and, if necessary, the tonearm height. The target should be an SRA around 92 degrees, determined by the listening experience. In other words, the point of the stylus should point slightly towards the tonearm base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-section=\"19607\" class=\"spacing__top--none spacing__bottom--none\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-only01\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-only__container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-only__inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-only__content js-richtext-table\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance with a range of compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith optimal weight and compliance to suit the vast majority of modern tonearms, the MC A MONO is easily compatible with a seemingly endless array of modern contemporary high-end turntable equipment.
