Nagaoka MP-300

Nagaoka manufactures exclusively MM transmissions and has technologically perfected them with 100% control over the quality of the individual parts.Their series of transducers combine the simplicity of MM transducers with the musicality and tonal accuracy of MC transducers. To protect your investment, all transducers have a tip change option !

Model300....model with an emphasis on quality, lots of detail and dynamics ! Significantly better than many other MC transmissions !

With the MP 300, Nagaoka achieves a level of sophistication that is hard to beat. All the finer details are revealed and placed in an incredibly well defined soundstage.It has a super rigid body with ultra low resonance. This will keep you listening to the music over and over again endlessly.

Nagaoka's new line of MM turntables from Japan is here! Nagaoka is synonymous with "beautiful and warm sound with crystal clear treble", which aptly describes the sound of these products. The transducers have an excellent frequency response and guarantee the highest transparency and excellent intelligibility of sound recordings. Since Nagaoka has perfected the MM system, it rivals and in many cases beats other much more expensive MM and MC transducers!

All Nagaoka transceivers are equipped with Nagaoka MI technology® MI (Moving Iron). This gives them the high level of detail associated with more expensive Moving Coil (MC) systems, while retaining the convenience of an interchangeable tip and the high performance associated with Moving Magnet (MM) types. The transmission incorporates a powerful Samarium - Cobalt magnet and high output coil levels so that instead of much heavierthe heavier permanent magnet used in conventional designs, a very lightweight steel and nickel end extension can be used. This reduces the moving mass of the cartridge, allowing the shaker to follow the recording groove more faithfully. The MI system is fully compatible with the preamplifier for MM cartridges. The result and advantage of this demanding system to produce is high clarity and superior pickup capability with the musicality and tonality accuracy of MC cartridges.

Nagaoka phono cartridges use only top quality materials with special workmanship. High-quality designed magnetic circuit, precision-made tremor and pickup tip, all 100% development and production by Made in Japan by Nagaoka. The result is an amazing sound previously only found in the much more expensive MM and MC transmissions.

The new line of pickups is made of special materials that reduce unwanted vibrations to a minimum level:

• - Nagaoka MI technology® with precise and fast response to the groove wall
• - Superfine polished elliptical diamond stylus
• - Powerful Samarium - Cobalt magnets, modern cobalt samarium magnets have an extremely high energy output, so you can use a much lighter magnet than ever before
• - Low weight, high strength boron wobble
• - Exclusive super rigid body
• - Carbon Fiber - plastic transmission case reinforced with carbon fiber
• - Anti ferro-magnetic permalloy jacket (protects against electromagnetic interference)
• - Easy tip change
• Replacement tip: Nagaoka JN-P300
