The Ortofon MC Anna is a flagship moving coil cartridge from Ortofon's Exclusives series, dedicated to opera diva Anna Netrebko. It delivers exceptional precision, musicality, micro and macro dynamics, fluid tonality, and texture. With a low output voltage of 0.2 mV and 6 Ohm internal impedance, it pairs perfectly with most MC phono preamps and step-up transformers like the Ortofon ST-80 SE. The cartridge uses Ortofon's Replicant 100 diamond stylus for unparalleled groove tracing accuracy, housed in an SLM titanium body for optimal rigidity and minimal resonance. It is no longer listed on Ortofon's current HiFi products page and marked as a historical product.
