Ortofon MC Vivo Blue phono cartridge
Entering the exclusive world of Ortofon’s famous moving coil sound!
• Special 7-nines (99.9999% pure) copper wire manufactured in Japan.
• Low internal impedance makes the cartridge less sensitive to load and therefore ensures compatibility with the widest range of preamps and transformers.
• A special newly developed polycarbonate based resin, Lexan DMX, in Piano Black is used for manufacturing of the body. This revolutionary material improves rigidity and damping properties and also has a very durable scratch resistant surface. Rigidity is an important performance character as the plastic-body serves as basis for the generato.

"...very enjoyable... I found the sound refreshingly easy to listen to, with no fatigue inducing shrieks or shouting".
