Musicality plus
Years ago I owned the Nagaoka MP30 (now called MP300) and several relatively high-end MC cartridges and overall, the MP30 just sounded right. Ok, it wasn't as good as one of my moving coil cartridges in particular, but what the MP30 lacked in ultimate detail, it more than made up for in tonal balance and musicality.
Enter my new Nagaoka MP500. Due to the line-contact stylus, it's a bit tricky to set up, but get it right (you must get it exactly right - cannot stress this enough) and you'll be rewarded (after about 20 hours run in) with a really nice detailed sound that will track anything - even a pipe organ recording that I have with genuine sound going down very close to 20Hz is tracked without a problem. Highs are very sweet sounding, midrange, ever so slightly warm, but very detailed, and very satisfying bass which, as long as the recording is a good one, displays good levels of texture and depth. So overall, I'm extremely happy with this cartridge. BTW, in comparison with the Rega Ania which the MP500 is replacing, it's definitely the MP500 which is the better cartridge.

Very well made metal badge
I own a 2014 Holden Cruze SRI-V 1.6 turbo, but the car doesn't have any turbo badges or other indication that the car is turbocharged. While this badge is a touch on the small size, it's of very good quality. Also I wanted it to look as if the badge should be on the car, so I didn't want it to be too big either. Additionally, the badges design matches the "V" of "SRI-V" (red with a chrome surround) and looks fabulous even though, due to it's size, it does have a subtle look, which is probably better than it having an "in your face" appearance.
