The sound picture of Cadenza
Red is relaxed, homogeneous and moderately dynamic and have great space
and depth in the stereo image.
The Cadenza Red model is using a Nude Fine Line stylus with a
cylindrical aluminium cantilever. The stylus tip radius is r/R 8/40 µm.
The coils are made from 6NX (99.9999 %) pure silver wire.
An improved winding process on the armature allows a better channel balance.

astonishingly natural portrayal of the midrange, and this sole

cartridges, and the Cadenza Red is certainly in the field where the
excellent ones reside in…
..The Cadenza Red is never a cartridge that is in a hurry so to
speak, as it encourages a person to experience every facet of an album,
and enjoy it on many different levels…
…The Red is intended to be liquid, refined, flowing, with a slightly burnished warmth that is easy to get hooked on…
…The design team at Ortofon has done a splendid job voicing the
Cadenza Red, and creating a cartridge that is inviting and easy to
listen to, yet capable of presenting the entire palette of shading and
texture that may be captured in a recording. This cartridge is a
wonderful find for those hobbyists who value an emotionally involving
listening experience, where the highlights are tone, harmonic density,
and a rich presentation…"
