The Nagaoka MP-500 Cartridge has just received the Hi-Fi News Highly Commended award.
'... very polished-sounding treble, while the MP-500's superb tracking means there's never a hint of sibilance or spit. I'd argue this pick-up offers a particularly sympathetic rendering of vocal sibilants, and up with the very best this side of a four-figure price tag.... instrumental and vocal detail is delivered with panache by the MP-500... the sound can really open up, front to back... a truly impressive sense of bass weight to its notes, even at moderate volume... the MP-500 was more than capable of ordering any number of performers with striking accuracy. Each given his or her own space within the soundstage... vivid, precise and lifelike... bass was rich solid and deeply resonant.' - HiFi News
