Reviews around separation (5.00 of 5)

  • Great separation, warm, nice bass, actually overall tone much better than I expected
  • The first thing I noticed was the crystal clear separation of vocals and instruments
  • separation- tracks like a mountain lion (as i read someone say and agree)The only thing i regret is buying this without it's own headshell
  • Vibrant, separation, dynamics and life-like in performances.

Reviews around music (5.00 of 5)

  • Pair this will a decent turn table, a Shchiit Mani, and you're all set for entry to intermediate (affordable) music enjoyment.
  • If you are a casual music listener and prefer a pleasant listening experience....this may be the cartridge for you.

Reviews around soundstage (5.00 of 5)

  • Warm rich soundstage
  • Where one cart may have fantastic dynamics, another brilliant high end, and still another a great soundstage, the 110 gives you all of those things without sacrificing anything, which is uncommon for this price range
  • Rock solid bass, smooth mids and sibilant free highs paired with a great soundstage and dynamics

Reviews around cart (5.00 of 5)

  • Where one cart may have fantastic dynamics, another brilliant high end, and still another a great soundstage, the 110 gives you all of those things without sacrificing anything, which is uncommon for this price range
  • The MP110 is probably the best cart out there for under 150.00 and can be found for about 120.00 or less if you look around
  • There are a lot of very good sounding carts in this price range, with some caveat: too warm, too bright, hum, sibilant distortion,etc

Reviews around balance (5.00 of 5)

  • Perfect midrange, treble is well balanced and Bass is tight
  • It has a nice, balanced sound (warmer than many AT carts), good imaging, and tracks unusually well for a bonded elliptical stylus.
  • The Red has more bass but the highs were too bright, this cartridge is well balanced I could listen to vinyl for hours now.

Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • This one gets everything right and is a bit more forgiving of surface noise than typical for a reasonable price.
  • My top priced cartridge is an Ortofon 2M Blue that ran a little over $200.
  • This one is slightly over that price but worth every penny!
  • It's probably the best price-to-performance ratio cart out there

Reviews around midrange (5.00 of 5)

  • Some phono stages, like the Emotiva, also have a slightly forward midrange and would not mate with the Nagaoka.
  • Very tight and accurate bass, smooth midrange, and a precise treble.
  • Perfect midrange, treble is well balanced and Bass is tight

  • Where one cart may have fantastic dynamics, another brilliant high end, and still another a great soundstage, the 110 gives you all of those things without sacrificing anything, which is uncommon for this price range
  • Tracks accurately at 1.5 grams, detailed without being overly bright + a tight bottom end... you'd have to spend 2x more to hear an appreciable improvement.

Reviews around surface noise (1.00 of 5)

  • With its ability to minimize surface noise, there is a small tradeoff in terms of detail, but it’s not major by any means
  • This one gets everything right and is a bit more forgiving of surface noise than typical for a reasonable price.
  • In addition to the excellent sound is the lack of surface noise.
