Ortofon MC Anna Diamond

摘要

On the face of it, all that separates this new flagship pick-up from Ortofon's original MC Anna [HFN Oct' 12] is the exchange of the latter's rigid boron cantilever for an even more rigid 'diamond' rod. The line-contact Replicant 100 diamond stylus, the 'wide-range armature damping' system (WRD), the sintered titanium body and rare earth alloy magnet are all, ostensibly, unchanged. Nevertheless, this 'Diamond' MC Anna is no mere blinged-up clone.
