Is going from a Ortofon Candenza Black to a Ortofon Winfield a lateral move?


I have an opportunity to pick up a very low use Winfield at a good price. That said, after moving my Cadenza Black I'll pay at least $750 for the Winfield. The Winfield retails for about $1,400 more but to me the specs look pretty similar. Anybody have any experience with these carts to provide some feedback? Thanks.

befoura I also have a Cadenza Black after considering a Windfeld ti.  I am a big fan of Ortofon since my Jubilee served me well for years.  I am using it with a vector 4 tonearm, basis 2200 sig and Allnic H3000 phono pre.  

The CB sounds great in my system, as good or better than a Transfiguration Proteus I used previously.

The Windfeld might be my next cartridge but I worry if it is as revealing as the CB.  I listen to mostly rock music.

What say you billstevenson?
