Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1


Has anyone compared these two cartridges? How would the A90 match with an SME V arm? I've just read so many glowing reviews in the press and on Audiogon that I'm curious about the A90. Thanks.

Audiofeil......AMEN!!!!

Downunder....I agree with you re: SRA adjustment.

Ldorio....If SRA need to be adjusted with a USB microscope perhaps every A90 should come with one. Or, at the very least, Ortofon should provide a chart as a starting point to obtain the desire 92 degrees SRA. Example below.

2.0g.....VTA at 5mm above parallel
2.3g.....VTA at 10mm above parallel
2.5g.....VTA at 15mm above parallel

Disclaimer: I own an A90 and a XV1's and they are both sonic marvel....in my system of course.
