Quite an improvement!
In a previous review, I mentioned re-acquiring my 44yr old Kenwood turntable from my brother. Initially bought an inexpensive Audio-Technica AT-XP3/H combo as I wasn’t sure how the TT would function. After about 70hrs or so of use it seemed fine, so I decided to purchase the most recommended cartridge for the KD-3100. Wow! What an unexpected level of improvement. Just like some other reviews, I noticed subtleties in some of my vinyl that I didn’t notice with the AT cartridge. Very pleased after about 10hrs of use. One odd bit of info has to do with a 1975 3 record set I purchased that had never been opened. I played it with the AT cartridge and was disappointed with the quality. No pops or clicks, but just seemed very “muddy”. Played today with the MP-110 and they were like completely different albums. I’m still scratching my head on this one. Perhaps something about this old pressing?? Didn’t notice this with any of my other really old vinyl. Nonetheless, very pleased w/ the MP-110. You might notice that I mounted it in the AT headshell if you look closely. 😬

Rega rb300 decoupled stub+ weight. One of the best mods I've done to a tone arm couldn't believe how much difference it's made especially in the high range now has that clean shimmering air bass seems to be further bass exstention but tighter, not slot of money for the improvement on my DIY modified arm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellente amélioration, vraiment excellent
Reviewed in France on May 8, 2021
Cellule achetée et installé pour une sony ps-x4. Livré dans sa boîte originale avec des vis et un tournevis, bien protégé et de très bonne qualité.
J'avais auparavant une ortofon om 5e, puis une om10 (je dois reconnaître que malgré tout ce que j'ai pu lire, je n'ai pas distingué de différence entre ces deux stylus...). Ce qui me gênait avec ces ortofon, ce sont les basses trop sèches et les aiguës trop nets et clinquants parfois. Le son me paraissait bon, mais trop chirugique.
Je me suis donc laissé tenter par cette nagaoka dont la réputation semblait excellente. Je dois dire que je suis ravi : le son est beaucoup plus ample, moins criard en aigu et surtout les basses sont rondes et non pénibles à la longue. Une écoute à fort volume est très agréable et n'est plus dérangeante comme avec mon ortofon précédente. Les voix ressortent beaucoup mieux et des petits détails apparaissent, auquels je ne pétais pas attention (ou n'entendais pas simplement pas) avant.
J'écoute principalement de la chanson française (Hardy, Gainsbourg, Sanson, Souchon, Bashung...) et du rock progressif des années 70, et je suis totalement satisfait de ce nouveau rendu et ne peux que recommander.
