Ortofon's new A95 - titanium SLM cartridge

It was only a matter of time before Ortofon revisited the A90 SLM design using titanium - this time using some of the Anna's generator tech. Interesting.

His description matched very well with what we heard in their display room. The Anna is a more "meaty" sounding cartridge. Good Listening Peter

I have an A90 with approx. 1500hrs so it is almost time for a re-tip. If such a program exist, i would take advantage of it. If not, i would likely go the re-tip route for the A90. I also wonder if i could reap greater sonic benefits upgrading my Phantom II to III status than going from an A90 to 95.
