Transrotor MM Merlo cartridge
The Merlo Cell is a low output, ultra-high performance moving coil cartridge that incorporates all of Goldring's oldest design features.
These include an advanced magnetic circuit with a neodymium magnet and an ultra-rigid Pocan® body which allows for maximum recovery of groove information and an exceptionally smooth and extended frequency response. The Swedish iron armature is hand-wound with pure silver wire, resulting in much higher definition than that found in standard cell construction.
