About the Cadenza Blue
The Ortofon Cadenza Blue is a high-end moving coil cartridge positioned in the middle of Ortofon's Cadenza series. It features a Nude FG 70 diamond stylus mounted on an ultra-thin, rigid ruby cantilever, combined with 6NX (99.9999%) pure silver wire coils wound using an improved armature process. The cartridge delivers a wide, grandiose soundstage with exceptional micro-dynamics and ambience, revealing new dimensions in vinyl playback. Compared to the Cadenza Red, the Blue adds more dynamics, resolution, and detail while maintaining tremendous clarity and musicality. The stainless steel and aluminum body provides mechanical stability and resonance damping. The Cadenza Blue is recommended for rock, electronic, and intricate recordings where its dynamic, open, and precise character excels.
