Been thinking about these cartridges. How on earth could Ortofon take the position that they cannot or won't rebuild the A90? Do they mean to tell its owners that they spent ca $4000 for a cartridge that has a life span only equal to that of its stylus assembly? Doesn't make sense to me. On the other hand, some audiophiles do like to be abused by manufacturers. Can Expert Stylus in England or Soundsmith in US rebuild the A90?
Anyone compare Ortofon A90 vs Lyra Titan i?
I have an A90 which I have broken the cantilever off. Whoops. I plan on having it rebuilt by ortofon but have been told it will take about a month.
I have not heard a Lyra cart yet and am wondering what the differences may be. Both have been discibed as very neutral sounding.
I don't have system page yet so I will list my eq so you know what I'm working with.
Reed 3Q 12" tonearm.
Technics SP10 mk2a in home made 65 lb. plinth
Allnic H3000 phonopre
Aesthetix Callisto pre
Innersound amps
Innersound Kaya loudspeakers
I really like the A90 but I am looking at alternatives as I may add a second tonearm at some point.
