Mobile Fidelity UltraTracker MM Phono Cartridge Is True to Its Name: Hand-Built in Japan and Made to Extract More Information Held Deep Within the Grooves of Vinyl LPs

The logic seems obvious to Mobile Fidelity: The form of high-output MM phono cartridge, like the high-end UltraTracker, should follow the same layout as the cutting head responsible for making the precious grooves you see on vinyl LPs. UltraTracker touts a "V-twin" dual-magnet generator comprised of two powerful magnets aligned in a formation parallel with the stereo record grooves. Developed in collaboration between Mobile Fidelity engineers and Spiral Groove founder Allen Perkins, UltraTracker extracts immense amounts of detail, dynamics, tone, and texture from LPs. Its physical configuration means it is literally made to live in records' grooves, giving it innate advantages and stunning channel separation few other cartridges claim at this price.
