Priced to sell. Less than two hundred hours on this Cadenza. The stylus has been cleaned after every usage, no fluids have been used, and it has been tracked at manufacture's recommended weight.
Even though the manufacturers suggest retail price of the Cadenza Black is very reasonable, this cartridge performs way above it's price range. The Cadenza has a lot of the design features and engineering that went into the Ortofon Anna and has a similar sonic signature. My personal experience with the Cadenza is that it is a remarkably neutral cartridge while being very musical. One of the attributes of the Cadenza that sets it apart from the crowd in its price category, is the utter ease of musical presentation that it brings out of the record grooves. For me, this translates into a lack of subtle sonic hash which reveals a deeper musical truth and thus a greater corresponding appreciation.
Of course, all those qualities are there in abundance that one wants from a high end cartridge...great sound stage, wonderful transparency, very fine base and treble, and an overall coherence to the musical spectrum that can be found only in much more expensive cartridges.
Overall, I doubt you could find a better sounding cartridge for this price and essentially this Ortofon, in terms of hours of use, is almost brand new. Please, serious inquiries only.
