Outstanding Product Award - Hi-fi News
"Chalk Up Another MoFi Bargain"
"Who better than a record label to develop a cartridge?" asks Hi-fi News magazine.
That's a good question, and MoFi has the perfect answer. Crafted in Japan using strict quality-control measures for exacting precision, and uniquely voiced by Spiral Groove founder Allen Perkins, The Mofi UltraGold MC phono cartridge from Mobile Fidelity offers analog lovers everything they would expect – and more – from an audiophile moving-coil cartridge.
The UltraGold MC provides exceptionally wide frequency response, clear high-frequency transients, stunning dynamics, and incredibly rich detail. True to MoFi's core principles, UltraGold MC goes further by providing true-to-the-source faithfulness, lifelike separation, surgical accuracy, and clean tracking.
The UltraGold MC won an Outstanding Product Award from England's Hi-fi News. According to reviewer Kenn Kessler, "This is a hyper-modern take on classic MCs, retaining the virtues of warmth and air, but with trackability that had me looking for a 'V15' designation somewhere. (Youngsters: look it up…) Prices seem irrelevant in high-end hi-fi, when top cartridges exceed £15k, so the UltraGold, at one-tenth of that? Chalk up another MoFi bargain."
Nude Shibata Stylus and Boron Cantilever
UltraGold MC’s nude Shibata stylus and boron cantilever help account for the cartridge’s palpable low-end reproduction, high transient responsiveness, and robust midrange. The Shibata profile diamond is further chosen for playback marked by hear-it-to-believe-it depth, immersion, and fullness.
Effortless Setup
For effortless installation, threaded holes in UltraGold MC’s aluminum cartridge body permits you to mount it on a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no bolts or nuts needed. Analog setup doesn’t get any easier.
