The Ortofon Samba MC Will Get You Up on Your Feet!

The Ortofon Samba low-output MC cartridge was designed to work with almost every turntable/tonearm combination available. The Samba has an extremely sophisticated motor structure, generator system, and a hand-finished cantilever/stylus assembly. The Samba has Ortofon’s nude elliptical stylus attached to the cantilever. The Samba will unearth more music from the grooves than you could believe, and at this special price, the limited-quantities we have will disappear quickly. A great phono cartridge at an even better price!

"The Samba is a breathtaking moving coil to listen to...Couth, balanced, and correct sounding, this is one sophisticated budget MC."
-- HiFi World, April 2007
