TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! !

Dear friends:  As in deep as I'm  with Ortofon I did not know that they started with FILM SOUND. Ortofon is a true ICON in the Audio Industry and perhaps no one knows so many about cartridge design or at least are second to none: Ortofon pedigree is astonishing/outstanding and we can read why and obviously the ones with Ortofon first hand audio experiences at their home:

this is the very first time ( and the best time to do it. ) that ORTOFON use diamond cantilevers in this Anniversary LOMC design. The cartridge must be something, at least, listening it in a top audio system.

I wonder if the Concorde Century will beat ortofon,s MMBlack, around the same price.

@cardani No way! 2M Black is incredible.

Dear @daveyf : "  I can think of no tube phono stages that will work well with a cartridge that has between 0.125 and 0.2 Mv of output. "

not for that output level and for any other output level, tubes are not for home audio system MUSIC/SOUND enjoyment. 


" 
 age old argument has been that the less wire the less loss. IMHO, that is a bogus argument. What is lost by the necessity to have either an SUT or a “stressed” ss phono preamp, easily outweighs any gains in the minimization of the wiring. "

bogus?, obviously you have no idea what you are talking about and confirm it your " stressed " ss phono preamp.

Do you know that a ss active high gain phono preamp is designed expressely for that kind of job. Expressely to handle with absolutely aplomb those very low cartridge output levels?

or according to you an amplifier with 300 watts by channel in 8 ohms spec is " stressed " and  with more poor quality performance than an amplifier with 40 watts design?

what in a hell are you talking about?, each audio designer designs according the specific needs on what his design will be used where the designer always takes in count that the design stays far away from any kind of distress. Got it?
Did you read something like designed overload safety margin or amplifier power headroom or .... or ?

Dear @invictus005: @cardani posted: " I wonder if.... " and makes sense to wonedr about but you said: " no way " with out any true foundation because as good the 2M Black is maybe the Concorde coulkd be in the same league or even beats it. or not. Don't you think so?
