Additional Info

The Nagatron 1400 ER trades ultimate resolution for a smooth, forgiving ride through vocals and midrange, helped by its Super-Permalloy shielding. The elliptical tip on an aluminum cantilever keeps the presentation relaxed rather than incisive, kind to imperfect pressings and budget setups. Casual listening and mainstream rock or pop on turntables where tracking ease matters most suit it well. The stylus is replaceable when it wears.
