Rare Victor MC Cartridge + Genuine Head Shell MC-100 II EB MC Cartridge Needle ※Unusually for an MC type, like an MM cartridge, the user can replace the needle (stylus) themselves. ●Included Items MC Cartridge (MC-100 II EB), Genuine Head Shell (Champagne Gold), Needle Protection Cover ●Description The MC-100IIEB is an MC (Moving Coil) cartridge released by Victor (now JVC Kenwood) around 1982. ・Direct Flux Method It employs a direct flux magnetic circuit that combines a powerful samarium-cobalt magnet and a high-permeability Seimendur yoke, achieving clear and stable sound. ・Needle Replacement Possible Unusually for an MC type, like an MM cartridge, the user can replace the needle (stylus) themselves. The needle can be replaced simply by inserting and removing it, making it highly convenient. ・High Output Because of its relatively high output, it can be played with a general phono equalizer that has an MM (Moving Magnet) position, eliminating the need for an expensive MC head amplifier. ・Elliptical Needle An elliptical diamond needle is used. ・Successor Model It is a successor to the MC-100EB and appeared as a more refined model. Although production has now ended, it is distributed in the used market and is traded as a rare model among some audio enthusiasts. HY101251003
