Ortofon MC1 Turbo: body and stylus

Its body is made of Noryl, a light composite material with great mechanical and damping properties.

The excellent quality stylus has an elliptical profile. 

Ortofon MC1 Turbo: compatibility

The Ortofon MC1 Turbo is a true MC cartridge with extra coils for a higher output of 3.3mv. This makes it compatible with most phono preamps and amps that don't have an input for low output cartridges.

Its lightweight 4.1 g means it can be used on turntables and particularly on tonearms that cannot bear weights or more than 6 g, like the Pro-Ject Debut 3 or Debut Esprit. 

Ortofon MC1 Turbo: listening and review

After a break-in period of a few hours, this Ortofon cartridge will deliver a full-bodied and precise sound.

Its extremely neutral tonal balance makes it highly versatile.

The treble is typical of moving coil models, reaching very high frequencies with a lot of definition and no distortion.

The dynamic range is good but favours melodic and full-bodied music listening.

The Ortofon MC1 Turbo cartridge is a high-end range cartridge for demanding music lovers who do not want to break the bank or who do not have a turntable justifying such a heavy investment.

Highly recommended!
