The Ortofon MC 90X features the Replicant 100 diamond, renowned for its thin, light profile and exceptionally large contact surface, allowing it to trace grooves with unmatched precision. Combined with a special polishing process and a Boron cantilever, this design ensures remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness, delivering exceptional sound quality for an immersive audio experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the MC 90X is a revolutionary Selective Laser Melting (SLM) manufacturing process. This high-precision technique uses laser-welding of micro particles to create a one-piece body. This enhances rigidity, reduces unwanted resonances, and ensures optimal cartridge mass, resulting in superior sound quality and performance. For an exceptional signal transmission, the coil wires are made of the special alloy Aucurum, a gold-plated 6NX oxygen-free copper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50776567644446,"sku":"ORT-90XXXX-MC-CTG-XXX","price":9999.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3755\/9070\/files\/ortofon-mc-90x-view_01.20250319.125546.jpg?v=1775899215","url":"https:\/\/www.magnumsound.nz\/products\/ortofon-hi-fi-mc-90x-moving-coil-cartridge","provider":"Magnum Sound and Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
