In the August 2024 issue of Stereophile, Herb Reichert had some very flattering things to say about the venerable Nagaoka MP-200:
“More than any cartridge I’ve ever used, the impromptu MP-200 made voices and instruments sound real. I am grateful to be in a position to tell you about one of the highest value, most overachieving audio products I’ve ever encountered, ever. Highly recommended.”
The MP-200 was “impromptu” because he put a MP-200 stylus on a MP-110 body. Something to really consider if you need to replace a MP-110 stylus.
I feel similarly about my MP-300 as Herb wrote about his “MP-200”. The MP-300 is the cartridge I wish I had heard before investing heavily in MC optimized gear.
