The Ortofon Virtus is a moving magnet (MM) cartridge designed for vinyl enthusiasts seeking quality sound reproduction. It features a lightweight design that ensures minimal tracking force, which aids in preserving record grooves and reducing wear. The cartridge is equipped with an elliptical diamond stylus, providing improved contact area with the vinyl surface compared to standard spherical styli, resulting in better detail retrieval and sound accuracy. The Virtus is compatible with a variety of tonearms and phonostages, making it versatile for different setups. Its construction includes a robust body that helps in resonant control, enhancing sound stability and clarity. With a frequency response typically spanning from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, the Virtus aims to deliver a balanced sound profile suitable for various genres of music. The output voltage is designed to provide a strong signal to the phono preamp, making it an excellent choice for both casual listeners and more discerning audiophiles who appreciate a rich sound experience.
