The Machiavelli Gold MKII is the best ever made Gold Note low-
output MC phono cartridge features easy internal impedance
and high gain to enables great sound performance even with MM
or MC phono properly set-up phono preamplifier.


The Machiavelli Gold Born extra rigid cantilever handles a high
precision Line Contact diamond developed with Adamant-
Namiki, the world most famous professional Diamond
manufacturer. The diamond tip is inserted and blocked into the
Boron cantilever handled by a telescopic pipe increases the
coupling rigidity. The cantilever suspension is made by elastic
no deformable harmonic steel spring rigidly blocked to
eliminate vibrations enhancing the tracking ability of the
cartridge the best. Besides, the increased lighted body of the
cartridge, featuring only 10gram mass enables superb vibration
control. The thin and long gold plated pin connectors enable the
ideal contact with arm cinches; the good contact unable energy
dispersion and better grounding for a more silent music
background to reach all minor details listening to the music.
The Machiavelli Gold because the 30ohm high internal
impedance and 0.4mV output level it can be easily matched
with MC and MM phono preamp correctly set-up without Step-Up
transformers.

The Machiavelli Red MKII is the new Gold Note high-output MC phono
cartridge features easy internal impedance and high gain to
enables great sound performance matched with any MM phono
preamp or MC phono properly set-up.

The Machiavelli Red aluminum alloy light and rigid cantilever handles a high
precision Elliptical diamond developed with Adamant-Namiki,
the world most famous professional Diamond manufacturer.
The diamond tip is mechanically inserted and blocked into the
new cantilever that is consequently handled by a special pipe
increases the structure rigidity. The cantilever suspension is
made by elastic no deformable harmonic steel spring rigidly
blocked to eliminate vibrations enhancing the tracking ability of
the cartridge the best. Besides, the increased lighted body of
the cartridge, featuring only 10gram mass enables superb
vibration control. The thin and long gold-plated pin connectors
enable the ideal contact with arm cinches; the good contact
unable energy dispersion and better grounding for a more silent
music background to reach all minor details listening to the
music. Because the Machiavelli Red 130ohm high internal
impedance and 2.0mV output level it can be easily matched
with any active phono preamp MM and even correctly set-up MC
ones, without Step-Up transformers.
