The Nagaoka MP-110 builds on the legacy of the MP-11, offering improved musicality, detail, and refinement. It features a superfine polished elliptical bonded diamond stylus (0.4 x 0.7 mil), a lightweight aluminum alloy cantilever, and a powerful samarium cobalt magnet. The cartridge is praised for its relaxed, fatigue-free presentation, strong bass impact, and smooth mids and highs. It tracks records exceptionally well, with low surface noise, and is easy to set up and use. The MP-110 is available as a cartridge-only option or pre-mounted on a headshell (MP-110H). The stylus is user-replaceable, and the cartridge is compatible with a wide range of turntables and tonearms.
