I have a Winfield and like it a lot. The cartridge is very flat...just tells the truth. The caution is that it is VERY sensitive to setup. I've had many cartridges...none even approached the sensitivity of the Winfield...especially as to the azimuth adjustment. I have it on a VPI 3D with the 2nd pivot...just by changing the azimuth the most minute adjustment on the screw, the soundstage width and depth open up dramatically. If your arm doesn't have all adjustments that can easily be manipulated, I would probably look at a Benz LP or similar.
Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm?
Friends,
i sold my ART9 cartridge and now looking for an upgrade. I like Ortofon carts. I have been able to locate a low mileage A90 and a Per windfeld cartridge that I could afford. I don't have a top quality tonearm though. Would you put an A90 on a tonearm like Jelco 750d ? Or would you spend additional $1000 on a better tonearm and get a less exotic cart like the windfeld ?
