UltraGold MC Cartridge from MoFi Announced
Mobile Fidelity complements its MM range with a new audiophile MC design.
Precision crafted in Japan and voiced by Spiral Groove founder Allen Perkins, the UltraGold MC promises analogue lovers an extensive frequency response (20 Hz – 35 kHz), alongside the tonal richness, lifelike separation, and true-to-the-source faithfulness of a class-leading audiophile MC design.
The MoFi UltraGold MC sports a nude Shibata diamond profile stylus and boron cantilever with a neodymium magnet and Permendur yoke, housed in an ultra-low resonance aluminium/brass extrusion. The result, we are told, is delivery of palpable low-end energy, high transient responsiveness, and compelling openness and transparency from vinyl discs. The output voltage is quoted as being 0.4mV.
The 7.3g UltraGold MC features a threaded cartridge body and so can be mounted to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws: no bolts or nuts required. Once fitted, MoFi recommends a 1.8-2.2g tracking force.
The MobileFidelity UltraGold MC cartridge is available from November and will sell for £1,499.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
