Scoring an impressive 91% overall, Nagaoka’s flagship pick-up is as revealing as it is easy to use with a range of arms and decks as Jamie Biesemans discovers in August 25 issue of HiFi News. He says: “Calling any piece of hi-fi equipment an ‘all-rounder’ might seem something of a copout (but) that’s not the case with Nagaoka’s MP-700. This is a very capable cartridge on multiple fronts…The MP-700 is an exceptional achievement by the Nagaoka team. Offering grand dynamics, excellent detail and superb tracking, the MP-700 builds on the brand’s ‘moving-permalloy’ generator, realising a highly versatile cartridge. File this Nagaoka flagship under ‘musical’…It’s now the one to beat at this price point.”
