Audioquest AQ MC5
Brand: Audioquest
The Audioquest AQ MC5 is a high-performance MC (moving coil) cartridge that is designed to provide exceptional levels of detail, dynamics, and tonality. Its cantilever is made of boron, which is known for its high stiffness-to-weight ratio and low resonance characteristics, ensuring precise tracking of the groove.The coil is made of special wire wound around a solid iron B-core, which minimizes distortion and noise. The stylus is a low-impedance Nude Ortofon diamond, which reduces tracking errors and provides a tight and detailed sound.One unique feature of the MC5 is its specialized relatively low output (0.2 mV), which makes it highly compatible with MC step-up transformers and phono stages with low input impedance and low noise floor, while preserving all microdynamics.Overall, the Audioquest AQ MC5 is a high-quality MC cartridge that delivers stunning performance and is the ideal choice for serious vinyl enthusiasts who demand the very best in detail, dynamics, and tonality.
