I have an original Winfield, and like it. It does not glorify records...it tells it like it is. Good recordings are fabulous with great depth, air, etc....( even monos sound very good). Poorly recorded discs will sound just that way. Tracks everything without distress.
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.
