    Maybe...... But after Keggy, need to see if my Rock MK2 & OL Aurora Gold MK2 sell whilst I'm there along with my 70s system and other bits I'm taking for the sale table. Don't want to hear it & want it but have to give it back.
    Hifi pennies bucket is totally empty having bought a Tron Seven and Brinkmann Bardo in the last month.

    You and ya fuller flavours

    Either way this anniversary A90 will be very neutral and not have much of a flavour in itself allowing the music to flow out naturally and in all it's glory.

    The A95 from what I know improves on that even further, extremely neutral but even more dynamic.

    This A90 will be a superb buy for someone at that price, especially if it's in perfect working order with not too many hours on it - it's cheap fo what it is, It'll be gone in no time

    AFAIK, the Ortofon A90, A95 and A100 are the latest incarnations of the SPU. Sans the whale-shaped headshell, and in some cases 'nuded', but the SPU 'DNA' is still there.

    My understanding is that the A90, A95 and Century are completely different cartridges to a SPU.

    Yes a SPU has the SPU dna and all that makes it a SPU, but I've never heard that that same dna that makes a SPU a SPU is in the non SPU carts ie: Cadenza, Windfeld, Expression, A90, A95, Anna, Century - never heard there's something 'SPU' carried over to them, if you know what I mean
