Additional Info
The Sanyo MG-25L, originally supplied as OEM equipment on Sanyo and Otto turntables, is a forgiving, easygoing MM with a conical stylus. Its smooth, non-fatiguing balance favors natural vocals over pinpoint imaging or scalpel-sharp detail, a relaxed, rounded presentation for casual listening and older records. Modest budget setups are exactly its element. The stylus is replaceable, so wear is a simple swap rather than a retip.
