The MC 1 Turbo is an excellent entry into the world of high output moving coil (MC) cartridges, with an elliptical stylus profile. The MC 1 Turbo has a 3.3mV output, which makes it perfect for use with inbuilt phono preamps – specifically ones designed for moving magnet (MM) cartridges. The MC 1 Turbo provides a taste of the linearity and precision of moving coils, but without the need for additional high gain preamps or transformers.
