Most Ortofon phono cartridges, and especially in the lower price point models, for the fact that they have historically had excellent positional tolerances from the stylus (when loaded VTF) to the cartridge mounting surface. Allowing for good azimuth and SRA results even with rudimentary set-up methods (horizontal tonearm and accurate VTF) applied. And musically they have offered a wide selection over the years at very good prices with exceptional performance.

Some know you can spend $$$$$$$ for some components and at the end of the day they are sonically not really better than those for 1/10 of the price to others. Well, some sleep well owning those because they have the "test review" under their pillow, some loose the marketing battle but try to push the sonic curtain. What components are among that group in your opinion?
