UltraGold Moving Coil Cartridge

Crafted in Japan using strict quality-control measures for exacting precision, and uniquely voiced by Spiral Groove founder Allen Perkins, UltraGold MC offers analogue lovers everything they would expect — and more — from an audiophile moving-coil cartridge. Namely, exceptionally wide frequency response, clear high-frequency transients, stunning dynamics, and incredibly rich detail. True to MoFi’s core principles, UltraGold MC goes further by providing true-to-the-source faithfulness, lifelike separation, surgical accuracy, and clean tracking.

Drawing on 40 years of making records at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, the new MoFi Electronics division is focused on improving the sonic integrity of audio reproduction in the home. Our products are the result of multiple collaborations with some of the world’s best audio designers, stemming from decades of experience in the studio.

We designed three new high-output, moving-magnet phono cartridges in collaboration with Allen Perkins of Spiral Groove. MoFi cartridges use a V-Twin dual-magnet generator that mirrors the design of a lathe’s stereo cutter head. Two powerful low-mass magnets are accurately aligned in parallel with the stereo record grooves to achieve excellent channel separation and detail retrieval true to the Original Master Recording
