Raul What does VDH do to a NOS cartridge to bring it to "NEW" status. Does he replace any parts and are they the same - might be very difficult considering age of components.What does VDH charge for such a service?. Is this something you do with a... 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
Diva there is no harm in playing the A90. install it and play. I am not expert on MS tables, but a Fidelity Research would probably go well with it.

Raul Jelco's website say their model HS-20 (only one they make) is Magnesium with chrome plating and painting in black. It is not aluminium. So the belldream headshells would be an OEM Jelco?

Hi Raul I have a NOS TECHNICS EPC-P100C-MK4 cartridge in transit, so I should have it maybe next weekend. What available headshell would you recommend I use for the cartridge? I know you have mentioned the belldream from Juki, however you like an ... 
Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear
I just bought the Feb Hifi World and have had a read of the A90 review mentioned in this thread. I agree with Robm that you need to take a liberal grain of salt with the review and need to take the reviewers system into context. However there are ...

Hi Andrew Any further thoughts, Yes, that the millenium mat is now an obvious weakness.When I put the A90 back onto the Raven (I had not really played it for two mnths when the A90 was on the P3), I felt that the raven was just too reserved and bi... 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
Paul I set the A90 on the Phantom / Raven on Sunday when the family was out. You are right, the A90 sounds great regardless. I am sure with my back slightly up it sounds better than it did several mnths back with the Phantom. Obviously with the ... 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
Not sure what VTA the other A90 folks are using, however I thought I would share. Sometimes it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks. In all the years of listening to MC's and the last 8 with the dyna XV-1, I have always set the VTA around level or...

Lewm - I am, disappointed. How can you have worlds best MM cartridge of the week without having a different cartridge for every week :-) me, I'll save up for another A90.

My new MMCOW - ELAC ESG 795 E/40 cartridge that I bought almost 6 mnths ago NOS for around $150 from memory. A real pain in the arse to set up in the headshell. changed cap to 300pf per manual. VTF was very low at recommended range of 5mN to 10mN.... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, Axel It does need more hours, as I had similar thoughts when I first set it up and played. two other Aussie gents with the 1080LT also found it needed time - Phaser prefers it to his Garrot P77. Changing the load to the recommended cap of 30...
