Hey Tobes.
I use an Ortofon Windfeld and have recently purchased the A90 which is an absolute KILLER cartridge. I found using the Windfeld below 100ohms sort of killed the music and so far the A90 below 100ohms pretty much does the same.
I use a solid state based phono stage. Above 100ohms both cartridges 'warm up' slightly but I prefer the 100ohms setting IN MY SYSTEM!.
Just as a comparison for anyone wanting to know:
So far nothing compares to the A90 in my system.
Windfeld vs Airy 3 = Windfeld wins outright in all departments.
Windfeld vs Shelter 901 = 901 sounds livelier but 'false'
Shelter 901 vs Airy 3 = I prefer the 901 as is has far better weight and realism. 3D portrayal is far better with the 901.
901 vs Ortofon Rondo Bronze = 901 wins outright which goes to show a good cartridge is and will always be a good cartridge.
Koetsu Red Signature vs A90 = Koetsu sounds OLD!
Koetsu RS vs Windfeld = Koetsu sounds OLD!
I have all of the above cartridges and all these were compared in my system using my standard setup.
