Overview
The Nagaoka MP-110H is the modern successor to the legendary MP-11, delivering exceptional musical detail and tonal clarity at an approachable price. Designed as a high-value entry point into high-end vinyl playback, this moving magnet (MM) cartridge is pre-mounted in a headshell for easy installation and long-term performance.
The MP-110H features a superfine polished elliptical diamond bonded stylus, a powerful samarium cobalt magnet, and a lightweight aluminum alloy cantilever—working together to extract fine musical nuances with excellent precision. Whether you're spinning jazz, rock, or classical, the MP-110H offers a refined and musical listening experience.
Nagaoka recommends replacing the stylus (JN-P110) after 150–200 hours of use to maintain optimal sound quality and avoid record groove wear.
