Ortofon MCA95
Ortofon MC A95 cartridge, flagship model succeeding the MC A90, intended for demanding turntables.
Description
The MC A95 is a cartridge from Ortofon, designed as the worthy successor to the MC A90. It is fitted to a turntable equipped with a compatible tonearm and converts the record groove into an electrical signal to be amplified by a phono preamplifier.
The manufacturer places particular emphasis on reducing parasitic vibrations and on the cartridge's dynamic capability. This attention to mechanics and materials aims to limit distortion caused by unwanted movements of the stylus, delivering a signal more faithful to the engraved groove.
This cartridge is aimed at audiophiles who already own a high-end turntable and tonearm, along with a phono preamplifier capable of making the most of its qualities. It naturally finds its place in an already accomplished hi-fi system, where every link in the chain matters.
What to check before buying used
When buying used, attention should be paid to the condition of the stylus and the stylus tip, the most heavily used and wear-sensitive elements during repeated listening. It is also worth checking the integrity of the cartridge body and the electrical connections, as well as checking for any signs of impact that could have affected the internal alignment, a decisive factor for playback quality in a moving-coil cartridge.
