Ortofon A90 broken stylus

I recently asked Soundsmith about my cart. He was unable to repair it due to one of the channels being dead. He said he tried several times to repair it but had no luck so he sent it back. To bad I was really curious what it would sound like with a ruby cantilever.

I guess I'll have to save up my pennies to have Ortofon do it or trade it in for something else.

Two weeks ago I traded into a brand new factory sealed Ortofon A90. I have had several Zyx cartridges in my system, Airy 3 SB, 4D-G/SB, and a Atmos, I have also owned several Koetsus (BLACK, Rosewood Signature & Urushi) and a Sumiko Celebration Pear wood. All these cartridges are excellent and have a specific sound as intended by their perspective manufactures but the Ortofon A90 has caught my ear. It is the craziest thing I cannot stop listening to music. I am using a highly modified Zyx Artisan phono amp. Do not get me wrong all the other cartridges I have listed in this post which are the most memorable out of all the cartridges I have had in my systems over the years this Ortofon A90 goes right up to the top. I am not saying it is the best what I am saying is the most fun I have had in a long time listening to my record collection.

The A90 sound plays in the same league as carts costing twice as much, imo.Best cart value bar none.

Be quick and sell them, the next game changer from Ortofon is available.
Hard to imagine that it is better than the former game changer A-90 but Dealers told me, the next step is unbelievable compared to A-90...

The next game changer is the Anna??
