Top of the heap..a century of research and advancements,the new Ortofon Century Cartridge.

New to the market is the flagship cartridge from Ortofon...the MC Century. It will apparently embody all that is best in the Anna and add to that the higher resolution that is found on the A95. Priced at a paltry $12K and including special packaging, this cartridge is billed as being the SOTA. ( and of course, it has a ultra low output of 0.2mv, which will severely restrict its use with many phono preamps).
Anyone actually heard this cartridge, and if so...impressions.

It's less costly than the Grado ($16K)! We will have to wait for Michael Fremer's review! He did appraise the Grado as a SOTA contender!

+1 daveyf! Fremer did post that I was an "imbecile" after calling him out on UTube for promoting some $6K Audioquest PC's! I at least retain my sanity!

At least a $12K diamond-encrusted watch won't wear out and need replacement in a few years!

That $12K Ortofon cartridge better come with a big ol' diamond on the front to justify that price!
