Ortofon MC A90 cartridge


I have had this cartridge for just over a month now and WOW.

The A90 IMO is as pure a cartridge that I have ever heard.

If you like your system you will absolutely luv this cartridge.

Thanks Mike L for giving me the tip - revealing and musical- absolutely. ruthless - never

Anyone else got one?

cheers

Downunder I load it at about 76ohm. My ensemble fonobrio do not have 100ohm loading. Next value is about 140ohm. Off course I can open up cover and put a certain value resistor to load it to 100ohm.

Smoffatt, I m from Malaysia. There is no distributor in Malaysia. I got it from Singapore, nearest to my country.
My schroeder 2fw ( with reference magnet) comes with aluminium headshell. Yes , you are right, its certainly a pain using schroeder 2 tonearm, that is why I m selling it off once I receive my raven 10.5 tonearm. Its difficult to set the VTA accurate, changing 1 parameter affects another. However, its sounded reasonably good with A90. Certainly better than my allaerts mc1b, which is of 1st class construction
Just set up my ortofon a90. After 1-2 days of tweaking, it thrash my allaerts mc1b. However setting up on a schroeder 2fw can be a real pain esp azimuth. Really a trial n error effort with schroeder. Plenty of energy, fast , more refine and sounded exciting, with me tapping my legs along with "fast car" Tracy chapman. Wonder how much better if I paired it with raven 10.5 tonearm ( ordered) and after burn in. looks like my schroeder n mc1b will be on sales soon.
Guys what is your prefer loading for this catridge? Thanks
