The Ortofon Cadenza Bronze is indeed a fine cartridge, though I do wish the body featured a swept underside as it does ride close to the record surface when navigating warps. If you prefer something with natural warmth AND a lively, energetic presentation you may want to consider something from the EMT lineup. I’m a dealer for both brands.
Anyone have experience to share regarding the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze MC cartridge?
I've been very happy with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge I use on my Technics SL1210G turntable, enjoying a lot of jazz and classical music. Obviously I've heard many times that a Moving Coil cartridge can reveal more detail so I've been thinking of upgrading to the Orotofon Cadenza MC Bronze. However, Orotofon acknowledges the cartridge is "tuned to be warm." How is this done and how does it affect music playback (i.e. rolling off treble, attenuating bass, etc.)? Anyone have experience with this cartridge they can share with me?
