Gold Note Introduces Machiavelli Gold And Machiavelli Red MkII MC Cartridges
Gold Note have redesigned two of their MC cartridges with new ultra light coils to permit a lower output level.
Gold Note say that the Machiavelli series mkII outperforms the previous models though keeps all the main characteristics, which earned the previous version of the Gold Note cartridges several awards.
There are two models in the Machiavelli mkII series, GOLD and RED, the first one with a high precision Line Contact diamond, the second with a Micro- Elliptical diamond. The Machiavelli Series can be matched with any active phono preamp for MM/MC cartridges without the need of a Step-Up transformer.
