Ortofon MC A90 cartridge


I have had this cartridge for just over a month now and WOW.

The A90 IMO is as pure a cartridge that I have ever heard.

If you like your system you will absolutely luv this cartridge.

Thanks Mike L for giving me the tip - revealing and musical- absolutely. ruthless - never

Anyone else got one?

cheers

Just set up my ortofon a90. After 1-2 days of tweaking, it thrash my allaerts mc1b. However setting up on a schroeder 2fw can be a real pain esp azimuth. Really a trial n error effort with schroeder. Plenty of energy, fast , more refine and sounded exciting, with me tapping my legs along with "fast car" Tracy chapman. Wonder how much better if I paired it with raven 10.5 tonearm ( ordered) and after burn in. looks like my schroeder n mc1b will be on sales soon.
Guys what is your prefer loading for this catridge? Thanks
the A90 will only get better with more play

I generally have the loading at 100ohms, sometimes at 50ohms if the music is overly edgy. \
and you?

enjoy
Where do you get an A90 from. Any USA dealers suggestions?
Also, I hear that as per Ortofon policy, it does not allow dealers to "ship" a cartridge. Only sold in store??

I wonder what the wait time is now.

Feedback appreciated.

Downunder I load it at about 76ohm. My ensemble fonobrio do not have 100ohm loading. Next value is about 140ohm. Off course I can open up cover and put a certain value resistor to load it to 100ohm.

Smoffatt, I m from Malaysia. There is no distributor in Malaysia. I got it from Singapore, nearest to my country.
I have just opene dmy A-90 box. I am think whether to install the A-90 with my SME3009R on the Mingicro Seiki RX-1500, or first upgrade my tonearm and then install the A-90 on a better arm. If later, then I am think of Graham phantom even though SME V is under consideration too. Any thoughts? Thanks.
