X5-MC is the best high output MC cartridge

Description: The X5-MC is our best high output moving coil (MC) cartridge, with a highly polished nude Fritz Gyger 70 diamond.

The FG70 diamond resolves a very high level of detail, and can track even the highest frequency groove modulations.

The X5-MC has a 2mV output, which although high enough to be used with moving magnet phono preamps, preserves the delicacy and accuracy that moving coil cartridges are known for.
