Nagaoka's pitch for it is unusually specific about imaging: the company says it renders front-to-back relationships faithfully, so in jazz you hear where the players are standing relative to each other and in orchestral music where the instruments sit. Depth cues of that kind are the first thing a resonant cartridge body smears, which is why the MP-300 moves to a machined aluminium frame — a rigid foundation for the generator rather than something that flexes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boron cantilever and 0.4 × 0.7 mil nude elliptical diamond carry over from the MP-200, but the specification tightens: response to 25 kHz, channel balance halved to 1.0 dB or less, and a lighter 1.3 to 1.8 g tracking window. Output falls to 3 mV, still a comfortable moving-magnet figure into a standard 47 kΩ input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H version arrives with the cartridge already aligned in the shell. Arm-specific settings — tracking force, anti-skate, overhang — still want checking during setup. At 21.5 g with the headshell it is heavier than the models below it, so confirm that against your tonearm's counterweight range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMP-300 cartridge factory-mounted on a genuine Nagaoka headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits any tonearm with a standard removable SME-style headshell connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined aluminium frame; boron cantilever with a 0.4 × 0.7 mil nude elliptical diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponse to 25 kHz; channel balance inside 1.0 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight 1.3 – 1.8 g tracking force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 mV output into a standard 47 kΩ moving magnet input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-replaceable stylus assembly — genuine Nagaoka JN-P300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e MP (Moving Permalloy) stereo cartridge, pre-mounted on a headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 mV at 5 cm\/sec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 25,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.0 dB or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 × 0.7 mil nude elliptical diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined aluminium frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTracking Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 – 1.8 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacitance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight with Headshell:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.5 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Weight Alone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.8 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nagaoka JN-P300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard removable SME-style headshell connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tracking force, overhang and other tonearm-specific settings should still be checked during setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nagaoka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48321375469774,"sku":"4967736076395","price":859.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5027\/0926\/files\/45ce945e76d6d413f37e2d17ab9debe074b04eb0.jpg?v=1788380257","url":"https:\/\/www.theingroove.com\/de\/products\/nagaoka-mp-300h-mp-series-phono-cartridge-with-headshell","provider":"The 'In' Groove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
