Nagaoka C-51 M II 78
Brand: Nagaoka
The Nagaoka C-51 M II is a high-performance phono cartridge designed for vinyl record playback. It is a moving coil (MC) type cartridge that requires an external phono stage or amplifier with a suitable MC input to operate. The "C" in the name, C-51, refers to Nagaoka's Constrained layer construction which aims to minimize unwanted resonances and distortions. The "M" in the name denotes the curvilinear tracking irons used in the cartridge's stylus assembly. The "II" at the end signifies the second generation of this model, which features improved tracking ability, resolution, and reduced internal impedance for better compatibility with lower output MC phono stages. Overall, the Nagaoka C-51 M II is a popular choice for audiophiles who prioritize analogue sound quality and classic vinyl playback on their hi-fi setups.
