Ortofon

Ortofon has been making some of the worlds finest cartridges for may years. We carry the entire product line.

Ortofon’s new MC X Series offers unprecedented performance in its class, making it a true overachiever among the competition.  And with output voltage and impedance compatible with virtually all MC phono stages
 

The MC X Series features an improved body design with a Metal-Injection-Molding (MIM) stainless steel frame, offering mechanical stability that results in a significant leap forward in dynamics and inner detail.  Their custom rubber process ensures greatly improved tracking performance, while the optimized magnetic system paired with high purity silver coils ensures a clean, powerful signal path.  All feature 0.4mv output and quad coils.

See The Absolute Sound 40 review they summed with:
"In summary, I couldn’t have been more impressed with the MC X40’s overall performance. Sonically, it didn’t put a foot wrong in any groove it was asked to track."

"One more thing. I don’t need to tell fellow audiophiles just how easy it is to throw money at upgrading an audio system. We’ve all done it. The trick, however, is not spending the money but spending it well. For a little more than a grand, I present to you the Ortofon MC X40. You’re welcome."
