Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1

Let's be honest: The PC-1 is an awful cartridge.
I only listen to it when I get paid for.

Sometimes it is not easy to get a proper result, but here is a way which has some advantages

Final comment

yes, I agree. I heard so many times that " musicality " word with audio items that are really bad and through audio systems that were high colored but where their owners speaks about " musicality ..."

:-)

Reality

I used to read them 20 years ago for serious consideratio, then 10 years ago for humor, and now I do not even find any humor in them...

May I help you?
When you read this (it means that)

The Audio Adventure

In spite of the measurement anomalies, this speaker is clearly a state-of-the-art product.
(It didn't SOUND broken when we gave it our top rating)

It was definitely Borderline Class A.
(It isn't that good, but it's sooo expensive and they're letting me keep it --- G-d I feel so cheap!)

Light years ahead of the competition.
(The competition won't give us a review sample)

This preamp is the new reference.
(We aint giving it back, and we aint payin' for it either)

We hire only the best writers.
(We'll hire any audiophile who recognizes a pencil two out of three tries)

This product had me pulling one record after another from my collection.
( I listened to all five of my records)

The images in the soundstage had that elusive and seductive sense of palatable presence.
(I haven't had sex since my wife left me and I'm starting to hallucinate)

Every once in a long while a product comes along that redefines the way we think about audio.
(I love my DSS satellite system)

I have problems to believe that a company like Ortofon delivers "faulty" cartridges. I guess the "problem" has nothing to do with them.

I think, some of you are at RMAF.
When someone from Ortofon is there too, how about some adjustment lessons for the discriminated analog Listener with the A-90?

Louis can show us, that the adjustment battle can be a long one.
TAS will give you answers about their experience that a test report will be even more successful with some nice ads.
Mike can tell everyone, that this cartridge is good enough to develop a new tonearm significantly.
Listeners can judge about being able to hear differences after 10 min of adjustment and 1,5h of it.
Audio-phile can give his final comment like "Best is, what you like best"
and when the day is over, let's play Louis Armstrongs'
"It's a wonderful world"
