Cadenza Bronze is a true high-end reference cartridge, conveying music with supreme precision, impact, and dynamics.

The Cadenza Bronze model uses a Replicant 100 stylus and a conical aluminium cantilever. The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire, which is a gold plated 6NX copper wire. Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) is used for optimal linearity especially during complex crescendo passages.

The Cadenza Bronze stereo imaging capabilities illuminate the farthest corners of the soundstage in all three dimensions.
