Product Details
Nagaoka JT-80BK Black MM Phono Cartridge
The Nagaoka JT-80BK “Black” is the upper model of the Jeweltone series, available at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY. It moves to a boron cantilever and nude elliptical diamond, with Nagaoka emphasizing greater delicacy in the upper frequencies and a balanced presentation from top to bottom. The JT-80BK received the Best Audio Equipment Award at the 2020 JAZZ JAPAN AWARD, and the JT-80 series holds a Good Design Award.
Key Features
- Boron cantilever: lightweight and rigid, for faster and more accurate transmission of groove information.
- Nude elliptical diamond: a whole-diamond tip rather than a bonded one, reducing tip mass.
- Conventional MM generator: the Jeweltone alternative to Nagaoka's Moving Permalloy architecture.
