Hi Barry,
The cartridge at the bottom left is a Koetsu Urushi Sky Blue, middle top a Clearaudio Accurate and bottom right a 25+ year old Koetsu Rosewood.
The golden 'A' cartridge shown with the vinyl is the Allaerts Boron Mk 1.

Totally agree... Until they lost the plot and started making (largely) the crap they do now!Originally Posted by zimbo
one of the best sounding Ortofon cartridges.....IMHO

What you've got there is a proper Ortofon MC, 'musically voiced' (from the SPU heritage), and not the rather 'hi-fi sound', posing as 'accurate', much of their designs produce now.
Respect too, on the choice of arm, which is very similar to mine!

Lol, thanks for that. Interesting... I'm sure they sound excellent, and good luck to those who buy them, but for me the price is unjustifiable in the real world [outside of 'trinkets' for the rich], for something that will wear out, and worse, could be clumsily trashed at any second - I'd be having palpitations fitting it!
However, that said, it's nice hearing about such things... I think I'll save the dosh though for a new car
