Installed the MP-500 a few days ago on my SME Model 10 table with V arm and have listened to about 6 albums. It replaced a MP-300 which I very much enjoyed but will say the 500 is an improvement. Not night and day difference- MP-500 has a little better highs, a bit more air or sparkle and can articulate bass notes better. Happy with this cartridge overall and look forward to continued enjoyment.

Great price on a TOTL Nagaoka stylus. The super fine line contact is a bit more sensitive to setup than an elliptical, but once dialed in, this stylus, with it's boron cantilever, is simply breathtaking. Amazing clarity, vivid separation. and textured mids, with excellent air and refined treble detail. Very spacious soundstage, stout dynamics, and an overall warm inviting realism. I broke from tradition and added the MP500 stylus to the MP150 body, with excellent results. Your results will vary depending on the system and setup. Give it a good long time to break in. Highly recommended.

it is awesome stylus JN-P500 genuine from Nagaoka. easy for set up on my MP500 and all are good i 'm not need buy new cartridge if only broke your cantilever like me , just only it to replace it. and i love a sound of the Nagaoka MP500, it's a MM cartridge but it like a MC cartridge, it is very clear and detail and warm.

This is an outstanding cart. Upgraded stylus on my MP-300 to the 500 and the step up was extremely noticeable. The 500 simply digs out more sound from the vinyl with much greater bass extensions. I loved the MP-300 for years but this is clearly better. While very nice out of the box you will hear the cart improve dramatically through the break in period up to about 50 hours. Truly one of the great MM carts.

This cartridge is phenomenal. Tracks well. Sounds incredible. The boron cantilever, the line contact diamond tip, the aluminium body all combine into the synergy known as the Nagaoka MP-500. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, this cartridge reproduces everything well. Couldn't have been happier with my purchase. Every minute nuance in the music comes across all adding to the experience.
