Created to celebrate the first 100 years of Ortofon in style, the very exclusive - only 100 units worldwide - MC Century is the ultimate expression of what the current state of the art technology allows in terms of uncompromising pick-up capsules. The all-titanium housing and body have been manufactured using the sophisticated SLM (Selective Laser Melting) technique previously used by Ortofon on other flagship models, but perfected here to achieve unprecedented precision machining.
In addition, a cobalt-iron alloy has been applied to parts of the magnet motor, while the use of an elaborate damping system in the armature allows unwanted resonances to be completely eliminated. Another key element of the MC Century is the unique Nude Replicant 100 diamond tip from Ortofon, a slim and lightweight jewel that combines an extraordinarily generous contact surface with unparalleled groove-following accuracy.
On the other hand, the crystalline structure and exceptional hardness of the new diamond cantilever ensures the best possible "connection" between needle and armature. Combined, the Nude Replicant 100 stylus and the diamond cantilever make it possible to deliver extremely agile and transparent sound reproduction.
