Brand: Ortofon
The Ortofon Type AD is a moving magnet cartridge specifically designed for precision and accuracy in vinyl playback. Its name, which stands for "austere design," reflects the no-frills approach to its construction, prioritizing a direct and unadulterated sound reproduction over cosmetic factors. The Type AD features a slimline housing, a nude, elliptically-shaped stylus with a profiled cantilever, and a high-output output coil for easier tracking of low-level grooves. Additionally, the cartridge benefits from Ortofon's advanced technology and high-quality materials, resulting in a rich, detailed, and nuanced sound that is both musical and transparent.
