Nagaoka Unveils MP-700 Moving Permalloy Cartridge

Unveiled ahead of its official launch at High End Munich 2025, the new Nagaoka MP-700 is now the top-of-the-line model in the brand’s MP Series. A renowned audio equipment manufacturer from Japan, with 85 years of history, Nagakoa’s phonograph cartridges are used by many renowned companies as original installed equipment and under private label. The new MP-700 Moving Permalloy (MP) cartridge will be available in the standard MP-700 and a MP-700H premium version.

The 42nd edition of the High End will mark a milestone in the long history of the international audio trade show. The High End will take place in Munich, Germany once again before moving from the MOC to the Austria Center Vienna next year. But before that will happen, it's time to say “Welcome to Munich” once again! With every corner of the MOC Event Center sold out, the 2025 High End promises to be another major moment for the audio industry.

The Finest Audio Show Vienna 2024 on November 23 and 24, was a resounding success for exhibitors, visitors and the organizer, and for the second staging in a row at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV), the location proved to be suitable for an audio show. Some 4,000 visitors, in an upbeat ambiance, experienced sound and audio equipment at its finest. The Austrian audio show is staged by the High End Society Service GmbH, which already announced that its Munich show will become High End Vienna in May 2026.
