Ortofon MC-1 Turbo phono cartridge

ORTOFON MC-1 MC 1 MC1 TURBO PHONO CARTRIDGE 3.3 mV

Many audiophiles consider moving coil (MC) cartridges as the best way to play LPs. The Ortofon MC1 MC 1 MC-1 Turbo offers the legacy Ortofon high quality sound in a high output package hence the nomenclature "Turbo". It produces a 3.3 mV output and has a recommended load impedance of 47K like a standard moving magnet (MM) cartridge hence it can be directly connected to a MM phono preamp.

Its quality of construction is first rate. Musically the Ortofon MC-1 Turbo offers a smooth and refined sound with good bass control. Its elliptical stylus tracks very well and eloquently extracts groove information.
