YAMAHA MC-1000
¥ 52,000 (released in 1983)
Commentary
MC type cartridge with light weight and high rigidity.
The cantilever is made of a new material with a 35 μ m thick beryllium tapered pipe coated with diamond (0.5 to 1 μ m thick) to achieve high rigidity and weight reduction.
By adopting a 0.105 mg lightweight vibration system and LTD damper, the movement of the needle tip is linearly transmitted to the coil.
Cross power generation system is adopted.
