ℹ Product Information

Introducing the MC Verismo Moving Coil Cartridge

The upcoming crown jewel in the realm of highest-performing Moving Coil cartridges, the MC Verismo by Ortofon is a sophisticated and impassioned creation. Expanding on our prestigious Exclusives range, the MC Verismo signifies both a new beginning and a new peak in audio technology.

Unleash the Power of Authentic Sound

The MC Verismo encapsulates an alchemic blend of our expansive knowledge of vibration properties, mastery in magnetism, and prowess in mechanical design. It represents our bold strides towards innovation and technical expertise, all with one purpose – to let your music soar with authentic verve and vivacious verity.

The Essence of Verismo

Celebrate 'Verismo', a term rooted in Italian history, symbolizing 'realism' and 'truth'. It mirrors Ortofon's commitment to faithfully and accurately reproducing the essence of recorded sound. The MC Verismo is encased in a Titanium housing crafted with the Selective Laser Melting technique, drawing the line closer between masterful engineering and profound artistry.

Unprecedented Precision and Sound Reproduction

The MC Verismo employs Ortofon’s Replicant 100 diamond stylus, chosen for its close resemblance to the original recording stylus. This offers the most precise sonic reproduction, an extended frequency range, and lowered distortion. The cartridge represents the pinnacle of refinement in analogue playback technology and is set to transform your listening experience.

Features

  1. Crafted in SLM Titanium Housing: The Verismo cartridge is encased in an elegant, resilient Titanium housing created with the Selective Laser Melting technique, ensuring optimal damping and reduced resonance.

  2. Comes with Ortofon’s Replicant 100 diamond stylus: Our cartridge boasts the Replicant 100 diamond stylus, renowned for its long, narrow contact surface and its likeness to the original recording stylus, ensuring accurate sound reproduction.

  3. Employs a Diamond Cantilever: A solid diamond cantilever facilitates the best possible interface between the stylus and armature, raising the bar for minute detail reproduction in analogue playback.

  4. Utilizes Perfect Mechanical Integration: The Verismo cartridge assures perfect integration with the tonearm via three well-placed contact points, resulting in heightened dynamics and intricate detailing.

  5. Widespread Compatibility: With an optimum weight and moderate compliance, the MC Verismo seamlessly pairs with modern high-end turntable equipment.

Benefits

  1. Realistic and Truthful Sonic Performance: The MC Verismo ensures authentic and faithful sound reproduction, giving you a genuine musical experience.

  2. Superior Material Selection: Made from Titanium using the SLM technique and employing a diamond cantilever, the MC Verismo ensures durable performance, less resonance, and accurate sound reproduction.

  3. Optimal Tracking and Low Distortion: The Replicant 100 diamond stylus offers superior tracing of the record grooves and lowers distortion due to its resemblance to the original recording stylus.

  4. Augmented Dynamics and Detail: With perfect mechanical integration, the Verismo brings out the rich detail and dynamic range of your music like never before.

  5. Versatile Compatibility: Thanks to its mass and compliance design, you can pair the MC Verismo with a wide array of modern high-end turntable equipment, making it a versatile asset to any vinyl-loving audiophile's setup.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!

The Black Pearl Power Cable is a pretty substantial piece of kit, superbly constructed - it beats the usual black kettle lead hands down on looks and construction. It is however, fairly stiff so you need to allow it to hang in graceful arcs - no sharp bends. Being heavy it also needs a little support so it doesn’t drag on sockets at either end of the cable. Has it made a difference in the sound? Well, I have made so many changes all at once that I cannot definitively say if it has or not, but I am pretty sure that those electrons are having a whale of a time running along the conductors in the cable, and this hobby is all about joy!

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

A lot more detail was coming through, took me a little while to adjust as there was a lot more information coming from the speakers and my system just had more energy and presence.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.
