The exterior design of the matt stainless steel body signals close kinship with MC Jubilee.
Featuring a slim-line nude FG 80 diamond mounted on a ruby cantilever, Kontrapunkt b delivers a lively, airy upper frequency range with richly etched detail to bring out the subtlest overtones. The bass has weight with resolution and authority that make the cartridge suitable for large-scale works of all genres.
One contributing factor is the much higher 470 µV output.
Kontrapunkt b is fitted with 2.5 mm screw threads in the mounting base.
Recommended load: 50 - 100 Ohms.
