“ The Ortofon Cadenza Bronze offer much of the clarity and dynamics of it more expensive sibling the Cadenza Black, but take a slightly different approach with a slight richness to the tonal character. ”
The Ortofon Cadenza Bronze boasts a Replicant 100 stylus and a conical aluminium cantilever. The coil wire used is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire, which is a gold-plated version of the popular 6NX copper wire. A Field Stabilizing Element, FSE, is used for optimal linearity especially during complex crescendo passages, making this cartridge perfect for classical genres.
