Ortofon Cadenza Black Vs A90

In the same price category I'd suggest looking at a Lyra Etna, its a little richer sounding than the Ortofon A90, The Etna presents a more dense and robust soundstage.

Other options are the ZYX, I've had three of them The Universe 2 most recently, the Diamond, and a Airy 3 a while back.  The ZYX are very vivid sounding cartridges.


Best of Luck

Thanks Peter.
What's your view on the Lyra Skala? 

Have never tried one, but Lyra makes fantastic cartridges, used a Delos at a show a few years back, thought it was a excellent cartridge.  

I have in my own system an Atlas and an Etna.

Good Listening

I use a Cadenza Black with my VPI Aries 3 and am very pleased witht he audio response.  The difference in price between the CB and A90 does not make it a fair match.  I would expect the A90 to better the CB for the price.

Dear infection: If you can tell us about your today analog rig and what are you looking for, because you have three diferent threads about cartridges: diferent cartridges.

So, What are you looking for and your budget?, that's could help to some one gives you a better advise.

regards and enjoy the music,
