The TLC is a has input from 3 important analogue players. It’s based on the Nagaoka MP150 – a highly regarded model in its own right. Dynavector Japan have helped with the manufacture and modification. And the team at Well Tempered that are responsible for the direction and delivery.
Given most high end turntables end up with up-market moving coil cartridges it’s all too easy to overlook the importance of the moving magnet design – yet it’s what most of us use and certainly there would be very few turntable owners that didn’t at least start with one. It’s the first step into analogue and given the immediate contact it has with the record it’s the most important.
‘The TLC is certainly the best moving magnet cartridge I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.’ Here we discuss the advantages of MM cartridges, the design of the TLC (which includes input from Nagaoka and Dynavector), how it compares to the other cartridges in our range, and why it is worth you looking at it for your turntable.
