Top of the heap..a century of research and advancements,the new Ortofon Century Cartridge.

New to the market is the flagship cartridge from Ortofon...the MC Century. It will apparently embody all that is best in the Anna and add to that the higher resolution that is found on the A95. Priced at a paltry $12K and including special packaging, this cartridge is billed as being the SOTA. ( and of course, it has a ultra low output of 0.2mv, which will severely restrict its use with many phono preamps).
Anyone actually heard this cartridge, and if so...impressions.

It's less costly than the Grado ($16K)! We will have to wait for Michael Fremer's review! He did appraise the Grado as a SOTA contender!

@roberjerman    Why do we have to wait for Michael Fremer's review? We all know what it will be.. another love fest..of course. He hasn't heard ANY cartridge that is priced below $5K that he doesn't absolutely adore, LOL. An Ortofon priced at $12K should give him an epiphany...:0)

+1 daveyf! Fremer did post that I was an "imbecile" after calling him out on UTube for promoting some $6K Audioquest PC's! I at least retain my sanity!

@roberjerman. If I didn’t know better, I would think that Fremer is a big baby, as he acts like a child whenever someone or something doesn’t go his way!
He has called you an imbecile, he has called me a fool, and he has called others all kinds of insulting names...and none of these Ad Hominem posts have ever got him banned from any of the forums he visits. Just goes to show how besotted so many of his fanboys are with him. I have to say that before his little tantrum on another forum, I was in his corner...that changed when he behaved the way he did. Now, as far as I am concerned, he just needs to retire and go his way.
As many other reviewers have told me, he has past his sale by date, lol.
