Cadenza, derived from the Italian word "cadence," designates a segment within a musical performance, typically a concert, where the orchestra ceases its play, allowing the soloist to perform independently, unrestrained by a strict rhythmic pattern.

This solo passage, known to as a cadenza typically showcases the most ornate and virtuosic passage performed by the solo instrument throughout the composition. As the cadenza concludes, the orchestra resumes its presence, often bringing the movement to its culmination.

MC Cadenza Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very evenhanded way that pays respect to all elements.

A reference cartridge Accuracy level

The Cadenza Bronze is a true high-end reference cartridge, conveying music with supreme precision, impact, and dynamics.

The Cadenza Bronze model is using a Replicant 100 stylus and a conical aluminium cantilever.The coil wire is the famous Ortofon Aucurum wire, which is a gold-plated 6NX copper wire.

Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) is used for optimal linearity especially during complex crescendo passages.

The Cadenza Bronze stereo imaging capabilities illuminate the farthest corners of the soundstage in all three dimensions.
