Ok, thanks for the spelling correction on the Windfeld, or "PW" as it is inscribed on the cart. I'm still learning on interpreting the specs but they look fairly similar to me. However, as @rauliruegas noted, the PW comes with the Replicant Stylus that distinguishes itself from the Cadenza Black.
@fsonicsmith I initially had the same impression with the Cadenza Black, as you have with Ortofons, but discovered a step up transformer brought the Cadenza to another level I had never heard before. And, I suspect the step up I'm using (Musical Fidelity bb-1) is not the ideal match for the Cadenza but still brought more life to this cart than my C48 preamp or Herron phono tube amp can deliver on it's own. So, now I'm on the hunt for a suitable and reasonably priced SUT.
My turntable is a Technics 1200G with a achromat mat (I've also updated my system set up in my profile). I'm not sure if this is my forever table and hesitant about investing the dollars in a tonearm rewire. I'd rather just invest in a step up table in the future.
The version I'm looking at is the one previous to the TI. I understand they're built very similar except with a titanium body.
