It is far stiffer than aluminium for its weight, so the cantilever transmits what the diamond finds without flexing and adding its own signature on the way. Nagaoka's own claim is straightforward: boron is used for the cantilever, and the groove is traced accurately as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNagaoka characterises the MP-200 as a balance-oriented model with a rich sense of colour, and describes a calm presentation in which even the reverberation is impressively expressed. Reverb tails are exactly what a stiff, low-mass cantilever preserves and a flexible one smears, so the description and the engineering point the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers move with it. Frequency response extends to 23 kHz where the models below stop at 20 kHz, and channel separation reaches 25 dB. Output settles to 4 mV into the standard 47 kΩ moving-magnet load with 100 pF of capacitance, and the tracking window stays at 1.5 to 2.0 g. The stylus assembly is user-replaceable with the genuine JN-P200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MP-200 took Best Cartridge over £250 at the What Hi-Fi?
