The MC Anna Diamond represents the pinnacle of Ortofon's moving coil cartridge technology, designed for audiophiles seeking the ultimate in analog sound reproduction. It uses a diamond cantilever paired with the proprietary Ortofon Replicant 100 diamond stylus, offering exceptional transparency, speed, and tracing accuracy. The cartridge body is constructed from titanium using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) for optimal resonance control, and select parts of the magnet system utilize high-performance iron-cobalt alloy. Advanced damping systems, including a Wide-Range armature damping system and a Thermo-Plastic Elastomer (TPE) bottom cover, further reduce unwanted resonance. The MC Anna Diamond is engineered for compatibility with high-mass, high-precision tonearms and requires a high-quality MC phono stage or step-up transformer due to its low output voltage.
