Review on NAGAOKA MP 110H Cartridge Shell Japan by German Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sounds amazing and the alignment was EXACT out of the box. BUT. that finger lift!

Wow. simply amazing sounding and well built pickup. The alignment was accurate when I put it on my old Technics SL-Q3. BUT. that's the problem. that excessively arched instep of the toe is somewhat redundant. so much so that when I autoplay/return to tech the hand goes up. it hits the bottom of the dust cover and scratches it. So I had to improvise and add some raised bumpers to keep the dust cover higher. because there wasn't enough room to lower the height of the arm and clean the side of the record. So. I understand. You want it to be silky smooth and comfortable to lift with your finger. but only people come. It doesn't have to be THAT ergonomic! You touch it for a few seconds on each side. You won't wear a hole on your finger if it's a little smaller

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Little things
