"...if you want a cartridge to give you detail, space, integrity and vitality and fresh insights into every old-favourite LP you put on, the Cadenza Blue will do just fine... " Outstanding Product HIFI News
"The Cadenza Blue is a fantastic experience, think deep soundstaging, wonderfully wide timbral resolution and beautifully sonorous treble; the sound stage stretches wide, instruments and singers have vivid life. The Blue was challengingly fast and deeply detailed, drums had deliciously resonant impact as they roll across the soundstage." Sound 5/5 Hi-Fi World
I will say that the longer I listen to it, the deeper my appreciation for it becomes. If you are looking for a quality moving coil cartridge within the $1500 to $2000 price range, I would suggest you give the Cadenza Blue an in-depth audition, as you may become as smitten with it as I have. Built with both Diamond and Ruby, A Jewel of a Cartridge! Positive Feedback
The Cadenza Blue model is using a Nude FG 70 stylus with a very thin ruby cantilever.
The coils are made from 6NX (99.9999 %) pure silver wire. An improved winding process on the armature allows a better channel balance.
The soundstage of Cadenza Blue is wide open and grandiose straight out of the box. Micro dynamic and ambience will be evident when listening to complex compositions. It reaches a very high degree of definition in the perspective, which is very present. It is true to the music with a tremendous clarity.
