What customers say
The MoFi UltraTracker Phono Cartridge earns high praise, primarily for its exceptional detail retrieval and dynamic sound. Users consistently note the advanced MicroLine stylus excels at tracking complex grooves, significantly reducing inner groove distortion. The sound signature is celebrated for its wide soundstage, impactful bass, and clear mid-range articulation. Many consider this a transformative upgrade, delivering resolution often found in pricier Moving Coil designs. While the presentation is highly transparent, some find the treble slightly energetic. Build quality is robust, contributing to its strong perceived value. Once carefully aligned, performance is outstanding, making it a highly recommended component for serious vinyl playback.
Know before you buy
The UltraTracker is a standard-mount moving magnet cartridge, meaning it is compatible with most tonearms that accept a half-inch mount. You should verify that your tonearm can accommodate the cartridge's weight and that your phono stage is set to the MM (Moving Magnet) input setting.
The UltraTracker is designed to offer significantly better tracking and detail retrieval than typical entry-level cartridges. You will likely notice improved clarity in the high frequencies, tighter bass response, and a more defined soundstage across your record collection.
No, you do not need a specialized preamp. Because this is a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge, it is designed to work with any standard MM phono stage or the built-in phono input found on most integrated amplifiers and receivers.
The UltraTracker features a user-replaceable stylus assembly. This makes it easy to swap out the needle once it reaches the end of its lifespan without needing to replace the entire cartridge body or perform a full realignment.
Installing a phono cartridge requires patience and precision. You will need a protractor for alignment, a tracking force gauge to set the correct weight, and steady hands to connect the four color-coded leads to the back of the cartridge.
