THE NEW MC

The Gold Note original MC cartridge recently re-designed version comes with coils featuring the highest standard low output level to guarantee top quality audio performance. Housed in an elegantly shaped alloy body, the Machiavelli MkII cartridge offers perfect smoothness and extended dynamics making it the perfect host for your vinyl collection.

Machiavelli MkII’s extra rigid cantilever handles a high-precision Line Contact diamond stylus-tip in the Gold model and a micro-elliptical diamond stylus-tip in the Red model, both developed in collaboration with Ogura, the inventor of the Line-Contact diamond stylus shape.

At a price point where competition is fierce, the Machiavelli MkII cartridge distinguishes itself brilliantly thanks to its exceptional dynamic performances and engaging musicality that will make all of your LPs sound terrific.

TWO MODELS

The Machiavelli MkII cartridge is available in two models, the Gold made with an output level of 0.4mV and the Red with an output level of 2.0mV.
