Ortofon Verismo MC Cartridge
"Housed in a titanium body produced by Selective Laser Melting, the low-output Verismo moving coil features a diamond cantilever to which is attached a Swiss-manufactured Replicant 100 line-contact stylus shaped to resemble a cutting stylus as closely as possible. MF found the Verismo's sound "fast," with sharp, finely drawn high-frequency transients yet with a lush and generous midrange and a tight, nimble, well-controlled bottom end—"knit together into a coherent sonic package." He found that the Verismo "deftly places well-focused, three-dimensional images in a natural-sounding space." (Vol.45 No.1 WWW)"

"...The MC Verismo offers up the most truthful evenhandedness and musical transparency that I can recall from this manufacturer..."
