Nagaoka MP110 phono cartridge

Rating:

Great service for Analogue Seduction.Fitted the cart to my Rega P2 today and I'must very pleased with the result,straight out of the box the whole sound seems richer than the original Carbon.
One thing to note is that the pins on the Rega cart are larger than those on the Nag, requiring crimping of the terminals.This was very fiddly and difficult to get the snug connection.

I'm using the Nagaoka MP110 on an unmodified Technics 1200 for general listening (not DJing). It sounds decent and is good value for money I feel. With the replacement styluses being affordable I won't be tempted to keep one going beyond it's best.

Compared to my Denon MC which cost three times as much I'd say the Nag is a very capable cart and almost sounds as good. Perfectly good for everyday listening without worrying about breaking it.

I would say that during the first ten hours or so there were some very loud pops. Not like normal static, but massively amplified almost like gun shots and much louder than the actual music. All my records are wet cleaned and I know they're not dirty, and the same pop sounds aren't audible using my other cart so it is definitely caused by the Nag. This seems to have settled down now so I presume it's a part of the breaking-in period.

Happy to recommend the Nagaoka MP110 for standard Techncis headshell, using standard Techncis wires, on a standard Technics arm.

Had just installed this and found the cartridge to be quiet. Has strong Highs and Mid range. This makes the vocals very clear. Bass is good and not overpowering. Overall a good buy and might buy another one for the another turntable.

Excellent cartridge great value for money. Compares well against my old moving coil with good soundstage and detail easy to set up.
