The Nagaoka MP-700 is a premium Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge specifically designed for demanding vinyl enthusiasts. With its innovative technology, craftsmanship, and strict audiophile standards, this cartridge offers an exceptional listening experience. Perfect for high-quality hi-fi systems and detailed record listening, the MP-700 combines precision with impressive sound quality.
Advanced Moving Permalloy Technology
At the heart of the MP-700 is the advanced Moving Permalloy technology. This utilizes an ultra-light Permalloy element on the stylus cantilever, significantly reducing the moving mass. This results in freer and more sensitive scanning of the record groove, leading to clearer, more dynamic, and detailed sound reproduction. The outcome is an audio experience that fully reveals the nuances and subtleties of the music.
Precision and Tracking
Inside the cartridge is a carefully manufactured bore needle holder, combined with a micro-ridge naked diamond measuring 0.12 x 0.3 mil. This combination ensures maximum tracking accuracy and excellent channel separation. Even during complex musical passages, the MP-700 delivers a remarkably fine and clear reproduction, making every note and detail perfectly audible.
Excellent Stability and Sound Balance
As the flagship of the MP series, the MP-700 is equipped with the softest damper in the lineup. Paired with a specially developed pivot system, the stylus remains stable and controlled even under demanding conditions. This ensures precise bass, natural mid-tones, and brilliant high frequencies, completing the listening experience.
Durability and Aesthetics
The housing of the MP-700 is crafted from ultra-duraluminium and finished with a triple surface treatment (nickel, black tin, and an insulating protective layer). This coating reduces electrostatic charge, extends the cartridge’s lifespan, and gives the product an elegant appearance. Thanks to its robust construction and high-quality materials, Nagaoka guarantees long-lasting performance and optimal durability.
Handcrafted Craftsmanship
Like all elements in Nagaoka products made in Japan, the MP-700 is meticulously handcrafted by experienced technicians. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures uncompromising quality, durability, and a unique listening experience that will appeal even to the most demanding audiophiles.
