also a big time Ortofon fan here. I bought an A90 when released, and had it rebuilt by the factory a few years ago. The thought of a similar design, with a diamond cantilever, is very appealing.
Ortofon's Chief Officer of Acoustics and Technology Talks On Camera About the New MC Verismo Cartridge
The new cartridge set to sell for approximately $7000 in The United States fits between the circa $6000 Windfeld Ti and the top of the line $10,499 Anna D (the standard Anna, which sells for around $8900 will eventually be discontinued). Like the Anna D, the new Verismo features a diamond cantilever/Replicant 100 stylus assembly and a SLM (Selective Laser Melt) titanium body that returns to Ortofon's line the revolutionary look of the A90 introduced in 2008.

Although I am not in the rare air territory of the Ortofon lineup I enjoy the Bronze for it's great tracking and overall even response and the added refinement and beautiful presentation of the Kontrapunkt B.
I have always thought the Ortofon line offered excellent value at their price points and can only imagine how freaking good the upper tier must be.
Happy Spinning!

The Kontrapunkt line delivers the full 'house sound!'
