Tuscany MC

$10,895.00USD

The Gold Note Tuscany MC Cartridge is a flagship moving coil cartridge that represents the pinnacle of Italian analog engineering and craftsmanship. Designed for the most demanding audiophiles, the Tuscany series combines advanced materials, precision construction, and refined acoustic tuning to deliver exceptional detail, musicality, and realism. Available in both Gold (silver coils) and Red (copper coils) versions, it offers two distinct performance profiles within the same uncompromising platform.

At the heart of the Tuscany MC is its advanced moving coil generator, featuring hand-wound micro coils and a samarium-cobalt magnet system for high efficiency and signal purity. The Gold version utilizes pure silver coils for maximum resolution, while the Red version employs copper coils for a slightly richer tonal balance. With low output levels (0.25mV–0.35mV), the cartridge delivers outstanding transient response, dynamic range, and micro-detail retrieval.

A defining feature of the Tuscany is its ultra-thin Micro Ridge diamond stylus, developed in collaboration with Adamant-Namiki, paired with a rigid boron cantilever. This advanced stylus profile ensures deep and precise groove contact, allowing the cartridge to extract the finest musical information with exceptional tracking accuracy and minimal distortion.

The cartridge body is constructed from a high-grade duraluminium alloy with integrated damping materials, engineered to minimize resonance and vibration. Its rigid, cube-shaped design not only enhances structural integrity but also allows precise alignment and easy setup. Extended gold-plated connectors further improve signal transfer and grounding, resulting in a quieter background and greater clarity.

With an extended frequency response reaching up to 50kHz–55kHz and excellent channel separation, the Tuscany MC delivers a wide, immersive soundstage with precise imaging and natural tonal balance. It is designed to reveal every nuance of a recording while maintaining musical coherence and emotional engagement.

Overall, the Gold Note Tuscany MC Cartridge is more than just a cartridgeβ€”it is a reference-level instrument for vinyl playback. Combining cutting-edge stylus technology, premium materials, and meticulous Italian craftsmanship, the Tuscany stands as a top-tier choice for audiophiles seeking the highest level of analog performance and long-term listening satisfaction.
