The Ortofon Verismo has arrived. This cartridge is a real treat and as Ortofon is known for, the value of this cartridge is off the charts. For those of you not familiar, Ortofon is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, manufacturer of cartridges there is. They have been doing it at an extreme level for over 100 years. Due to their buying power, technology and manufacturing capabilities, they can produce better cartridges than most manufacturers at much lower prices.
The Ortofon Verismo is a moving coil cartridge that in relative terms is reasonably priced. It is amazingly dynamic, with great resolution and transparency. Texturally, the Verismo is beautiful. It has wonderful body and musicality while retaining a "life life" nature. It is vastly superior to either the A90 or A95 and a better overall sounding cartridge than the Anna. While it is not as refined as the Anna Diamond, it may be a bit more "mic feed" like. There is a bit more "rawness" to it but, man it is fun as hell to hear!
