Having become Wed to Ortofon MC's for a good period of time, and when the opportunity arrives, am always happy to be able to listen to their upper end models, the Verismo does have an allure,
It will be interesting to see if this is a Model produced with Materials used for the design, that supersedes other materials used for the Ortofon incorporated Technologies and the Verismo is the Flagship Model, that will eventually have a range of Cart's to follow that will have a Trickle Down of the used Technology.
There does seem to be a increased use of a material on the Body in comparison to the A90 and A95, so I assume there is a design intent to add a little more fullness to a bass note, with the body adding to this as the influence.
Look forward to the sharing of the user experience with the Cart'.
