Transfiguration Orpheus My present reference. Espensive but a master of dynmics and detail. Music breaths and has the correct power and sence of details without exaggeration. |

A closer look at the Orpheus - Boron cantilever and PA solid diamond stylus. |

Benz Ebony H - the high output MC version of the top model
Benz LP. Som say it is the very best high output MC. The sound has body and weight. Rond and a bit warm compared to the above Orpheus. |
|
Benz Ebony with Fritz Gyger stylus. Very low moving mass due to the mounting on the very tip of the boron cantilever. | ![]() |
Ortofon Rondo Bronze. Very clean and neutral. A killer
cartridge at a fair price.
Lacs a little in warmth and tends to sound too dry and clean in the top. Must be paired with a warmer sounding MC/RIAA amp. |

A very clear allmost see through Fritz Gyger diamond on the Rondo Bronze. | ![]() |
Ortofon SPU Gold | |
Ortofon MC 200 "Concorde" | |
Mörch DaCapo - made by ScanTech in Japan. A low output MC cartridge. | ![]() |
Ortofon Windfeld - the new top of the line cartridge from
Danish Ortofon. Tight and controll are the first two things that come to
mind. Very high resolution as well a smoothnes you have to experience to
believe.
A top cartridge. |

The double polished Replicant stylus. It is very clean and has a tendensy not to pickup dust from the grooves. |

Van den Hul Condor - a little lacking in macro dynamics in
the set up I heard ist. But oh my what a musical, round and warm sounding
cartridge. Notthing to disturb you form enjoying the music.A wide soundstage
and lots of resolution.
Only problem ... I think the Transfiguration Orpheus is better! |

Shelter Harmony. The best midrange ever! and a very weighty bottom (allmost too much). A real top range cartridge. | ![]() |
