The Cadenza Blue model is using a Nude FG 70 stylus with a very thin ruby cantilever.
The coils are made from 6NX (99.9999 %) pure silver wire.
An improved winding process on the armature allows a better channel balance.
The soundstage of Cadenza Blue is wide open and grandiose straight
out of the box. Micro dynamic and ambience will be evident when
listening to complex compositions. It reaches a very high degree of
definition in the perspective, which is very present.

"...The Cadenza Blue is created to maximize detail retrieval from a
record, and yet accomplish this task without skewing the frequency
response, or creating unnatural phase shifts that result in the facade
of heightened resolution. Even though the Blue is a remarkably detailed
cartridge, it does not sacrifice the integrity of the music to
accomplish this. ... "
"...Another attribute of the Cadenza Blue that I find captivating is
how this cartridge portrays space... The Cadenza Blue keeps this aspect
of the recording tightly focused, and it is possible to listen to the
reflected vocals as clearly as you do the initial phrasing...In some
ways listening to the emptiness of the room adds another dimension to
the music, and the Cadenza Blue allows a listener to hear space and the
blackness between the played notes in a way that helps define the music.
A gifted composer uses the attributes of silence and time between notes
as an element of the composition, and the Cadenza Blue faithfully
reproduces these aspects of the music for us to hear..."
"...there are those rare instances where you encounter a component
that expresses the organic nature of music in a way that galvanizes your
listening experience. The Ortofon Cadenza Blue does this for me, and I
willingly admit to being enchanted with the abilities of this
cartridge..."
