Ortofon - MC Windfeld Ti Nude Ortofon Replicant 100

The MC Windfeld was developed in 2008 using state-of-the-art technology.

The Windfeld retains many of Per Windfeld's earlier design innovations, including Per Windfeld's patented Wide Range Damping (WRD) system, the ultra-fine polished version of extremely low mass, large-vertical-contact Replicant 100 diamond, capable to extract musical information from the grooves with a greater degree of accuracy than any other kind of needle and a strong neodymium magnet system with a Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) located within the magnet system.
