Ortofon MC Kontrapunkt "b" Refurbished

The Kontrapunkt b model is special in having a very thin Ruby cantilever mounted with the super polished nude FG 80 stylus. The coils are made from 6-nines pure silver wire, and the output is as high as 470 µ Volt at 5 cm/sec. by 1 kHz.

Compared to the MC Jubilee, the sound picture is more open, grandiose, and dynamic with a very present perspective.
