Donatello Cartridges Reviews

Stereo Times

“The Donatello Gold gave me all of the track’s best qualities: a beautiful reproduction of an important musical event, and by 1967 Monk adding any new song to his repertoire was indeed a musical event. The cartridge, paired with a first-rate pressing was exceptionally enjoyable musical experience. Nicely done!”
