Imagine sinking into your favorite chair, closing your eyes, and feeling as if the musicians are performing right in front of you. That’s the magic of the Cadenza Red.
Precision Engineering
At the heart of the Cadenza Red is a Nude Fine Line stylus mounted on a cylindrical aluminum cantilever. This combination ensures that every groove of your vinyl is captured with precision. The stylus tip radius of r/R 8/40 m means it can navigate even the most intricate details of your records, delivering a sound that is both clear and nuanced.
Superior Materials for Superior Sound
Crafted with 6NX (99.9999%) pure silver wire, the coils of the Cadenza Red enhance conductivity, resulting in a more vibrant sound. This high-quality material is a game-changer, allowing for better channel balance and separation. You’ll notice the difference immediately, as instruments and vocals come through with stunning clarity.
Innovative Design
Ortofon has taken the Cadenza series to new heights with an improved winding process on the armature. This innovation not only enhances channel balance but also allows for a more immersive listening experience. The extruded aluminum housing adds durability while minimizing unwanted resonance, ensuring that your music sounds as it was intended.
