The MC 200 U features a nude diamond stylus, which enhances its tracking ability and ensures improved sound reproduction across a wide frequency range. This cartridge is compatible with a variety of tonearms, making it a versatile choice for audiophiles looking to upgrade their turntable system. Its construction includes a lightweight aluminum body, which aids in reducing resonance and allows for better sound clarity.
