Nagaoka MP-500

Nagaoka flagship and an improved model compared to the MP-300 with a different diamond cut. Cartridge for very demanding listeners and audiophiles. Thanks to the high-quality Supeline contact all-diamond tip and especially the boron vibration and low output voltage, the presentation of this portable is in our opinion undoubtedly one of the top portable transmitters with the advantage of interchangeable tip compared to MC portable. We recommend mounting only on high quality arms and turntables.
