Commentary
MC type cartridge with replaceable needle.
It employs a direct-flux magnetic circuit combining four strong samarium-cobalt magnets and a high-permeability Semendur York(permendur york?).
The needle can be changed just by pulling out the clamp like MM type cartridge.
Since all consumable parts are removed, there is no need to worry about the performance of the magnetic circuit changing with attaching and detaching.
