The Transrotor MC Merlo Reference is an MC reading cell based on Goldring Elite.

Thanks to the diamond cut with the special harmonic, the MC Merlo Reference offers magical space and extended detail resolution.

Compared to its Cantare 'little sister', this cell significantly improves sound reproduction.

It is compatible with the Transrotor ZET 1, ZET 3, LEONARDO and TOURBILLON turntables.
