"What makes the Nagaoka MP-110 stand out is the way it provides a musical performance that is completely satisfying and fulfilling, while still having the ability to create those "oh, wow" moments because the music just sounds so good. Tracking and bass impact are exceptional and the music has an effortless ebb and flow no matter if you are listening to classic rock or pure classical, with everything in-between."3
"Got the Nagaoka mounted up. Not bad, closer to my Dynavector DV20X2L than I'd like to admit."4
