Ortofon MC Jubilee High-end cartridge


 

The MC Jubilee was launched to celebrate Ortofon’s 80 years anniversary.

Ortofon MC Jubilee features unique exterior design and interior construction based on numerous technological advances in the service of your listening experience.

MC Jubilee also incorporates Ortofon’s patented patented Wide Range Damping system controlling the high-and low frequency damping separately.

The effective mass has been reduced in the stylus/cantilever system by using a very thin boron rod. This material is extremely stiff and even more lightweight compared to aluminum. Besides is the velocity of sound almost 3 times higher compared to that of aluminum.

Combined with the nude high-polished Shibata diamond stylus at the end of the cantilever we have developed one of the new elements responsible for the new sound 6-nines (99.9999%) pure silver is used for the coils on the armature.

Amazing tonal neutrality, dynamics and purity of sound of Ortofon MC Jubilee set new standards for potency, detail, consistency and sound staging.

A high performance MC transformer or MC preamplifier is required to take full advantage of these qualities. Recommended load: 100 Ohms or much higher, unless the ancillary system has bright tendencies.
