Pioneer PC-50MC
¥ 25,000 (released in 1981)
Commentary
The MC cartridge was developed to reflect the superior design philosophy of the high-end PC-70MC.
Uses a newly developed left-right independent 6-pole 4-magnet magnetic circuit.
The use of tapered aluminum pipe cantilevers enables high-fidelity reproduction of program sources.
