High-Quality Sound

The MP-150’s elliptical diamond stylus and low mass cantilever provide exceptional tracking and sound reproduction. Its rich and warm soundstage, combined with punchy bass and natural vocals, ensures an engaging and enjoyable listening experience.

Permalloy Magnet Principle

As a permalloy magnet principle cartridge, the Nagaoka MP-150 allows for stylus replacement at a reasonable cost when it wears out. Additionally, you can upgrade to the boron cantilever stylus from the MP-200 for even greater fidelity and clarity.

Stylus Guard

A stylus guard is included with the cartridge to protect it during transportation and when not in use. The stylus guard is also sold separately should you ever need a spare.

Included Accessories

• MP-150: The box includes accessories for mounting the cartridge in most headshells, with two sets of screws (approximately 10mm and 13mm in length), two plastic washers, two bolts, and a small screwdriver. Should you require screws of a different length, we offer sets of screws in a larger variety.
• MP-150H: Since the cartridge is pre-mounted on a headshell, no screwdriver, spare screws, or bolts are included by Nagaoka, as is the case with the MP-150 version without headshell.
