Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1


Has anyone compared these two cartridges? How would the A90 match with an SME V arm? I've just read so many glowing reviews in the press and on Audiogon that I'm curious about the A90. Thanks.

Don't forget, if you don't set up the A90 for SRA of 92degrees it can sound slightly too smooth when parallel.

That said it aint ever going to sound like a Lyra or koetsu

Can you explain your comments? I would love to know what you think are the performance differences between those three.

Thuchan, I have three arm wands for my NOS Audiocraft AC4400, do you think the AP-2L (straight) would be good for the Ortofon?

If not, how about the heavy "S" version (I have it too).
Albert, you may use the straight arm wand cause the A90 has a high compliance. That should match perfectly (don`t use the S version), good luck.
Nolitan, do understand. Maybe you have the chance to hear it at another occasion. The TTs and arms you were listening to are fine. downunder is right.
Thuchan_> am always open to things! looking forward to hearing the A90 in a different occasion.
