Review: MP 110 vs Ortofon 2M red - Given the similarity of pricing between the MP 110 and the Ortofon 2M Red I think its probably worthwhile offering my thoughts and comparisons having just replaced a 2M with the Nagaoka on my Rega. Having owned a 2M Red for a couple of years I have to disagree with comments regarding its "Over-analytical" nature. The 2M is a very fine first upgrade cartridge. It has a refined sound, solid bass and its slightly "rolled-off" top end, contrasting sharply with its bigger brother 2M Blue which offers an almost CD- like sound. In short, it is an extremely good-looking, easy to fit cartridge, that gives a controlled performance across all genres of music. My first impressions of the MP110 were firstly its classic square style but nonetheless nice looks. Despite not having the captive screws of the 2M it was again easy to fit and set up. Initially listening to a familiar recording like Fleetwood Mac's rumours I felt the output of the Nagaoka was below that of the ortofon and I found myself increasing the volume on my Arcam fmj A19 amp to compensate. That said, the Nagaoka offered a much fuller bass and a very musical and involving mid band. Everything has a downside and I found the treble of the 110 a little brittle and metalic, very unlike the smooth understated nature of the Ortofon. With a little perseverance,and half a dozen albums later the top end was softening a little and by day two I was listening to a very nice top end and surface noise levels comparable to the Ortofon I'm now firmly of the view that the 2M's strong point is its ability to play any genre of music competently. The MP 110 offers a similar performance, but just shades it if your record collection is predominantly rock as it is the more musical of the two and although slightly less detailed, is just a little bit more exciting.
Review: best cartridge you can buy at the £100 range - I upgraded my previous cartridge (rega elys 2) to the Nagaoka 110 having read all of the possitive feedback it was getting. My advise to potential buyers; Do not expect everything to improve. This is not to say that the cartridge is bad, just that you will get a very different sound. Id say that 87% of my music collection sounds better having switched to the nagaoka but there where a few things the elys captured better, even if i cant put my finger on exactly what. The nagaoka improves ambience, smoothness, bass and vocals. It reduces surface noise yet the quiet parts of my music are crystal clear. Unlike the eyls 2 it needed break in of 35 hour's although it was a pleasure to listen to from the start. Realism is generally better. I think ill make this my permanent turntable cartridge. Music better with Nagaoka mp110; Beach House- "Depression cherry" Grizzly Bear - "Yellow House" Tangerine Dream - "Zeit " Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Euclid Good Morning - Shawcross Nat Adderley - Work Song Mogwai - Ten Rapid Alain Goraguer - La planète sauvage Radiohead - OK Computer Daniel Bachman - The Morning Star Sun Ra - Of Abstract Dreams Anything by composer Arvo Part Better on the Elys 2 Miles Davis - 'Round About Midnight Marvin Gaye - What's Going On BADBADNOTGOOD - IV Hope this helps you make a decision.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be a suitable upgrade on the at95e on my Audio Technica lp120?**
A: Yes is the simple answer. You will realise better tracking, detail resolution and tonal neutrality. I use the MP110 on an Audio Technica AT-LP5 turntable which sounds so much better than the AT95EX it was supplied with.

**Q: Would this be a good fit for a Thorens TD166 MkII with tp63 tonearm? I ask specifically, as the screws have to be fitted pointing upwards**
A: I have one on a Thorens TD 160 and Linn Basic arm. It does sound great. Clear reproduction without any embellishment and fantastic range. Big improvement on my Linn cartridge and I thought great value.

**Q: Will this fit a denon dp 300f**
A: Yes - the DP300 F uses a standard Haipin made OEM mechanism with standard fixing.

**Q: Given the larger size of this cartridge will it fit onto the headshell on the pioneer pl-12d without any other adjustment?**
A: Maybe wouldn't "look" good but it fits! every cartridge fits onto the headshell....
go for it....!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First impressions are good
*by M***E on 14 June 2020*

Great value for money. This cart and Nagaoka in general should be considered when choosing a budget cartridge (competitors would be goldring or ortofon) I actually replaced a goldring 2200 with the nagaoka mp110 and the 110 compares favourably although I need more time to decide what my preference is sound wise. One slight advantage the goldring had over the nag is the goldring (and others like it) are installed using only 2 top screws. However the nag also requires 2 nuts to be screwed on the underside of the cart. If like me, your head shell is fixed and not removable, installation requires a little more time and care. Very satisfied. I would expect more dynamics from more expensive Nagaoka cartridges although I'm very impressed with the MP 110 for the price. Thoughts after a few hours of use is analytical with a sweet mid range.
