Ortofon Cadenza Black Vs A90


I'm very interested in these cartridges & just curious about the opinions of owners, previous owners & anyone who has spent time with either.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info Peter. That's confirmed what I've read in a couple of reviews. 
Which cartridges do you like as much as the A90?


Sorry about that! 
I'm currently using a Roksan Xerxes 20plus with an Origin Live Encounter MK3C arm & pure silver cable. 

I suppose I want plenty of detail with excellent natural tonal attributes & very dynamic....plus everything else!
From my research a Dynavector XV1-S appears perfect but I can't afford it...!
I'm looking at excellent condition used cartridges with a shortlist comprising of -

•Ortofon A90
•Ortofon Cadenza Black 
•Lyra Skala 
•Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua

Thanks. 
Thanks effischer...I have considered the DV-XX2 MKII & have read it delivers a lot of performance for the money.

Which would you guys choose -  a Cadenza Black with less than 30 hours for $1500 or a new DV-XX2 MKII for about the same price...?
