But you know that there are sonic differences between the Ortofon series for the international market and those developed for Europe. There is a significant difference between those with a neutral, slim, detailed sound, e.g. Cadenza Black, A 95 and others that have meat on the bones and play very emotionally, e.g. (exact series) Venice or Vienna or mc a 100. I just wanted to point out to you so that you don't miss out on the beautiful things from Ortofon. There are some special models that clearly stand out in Ortofon's history.
Ortofon Vero SOTA *(State of the Art)
Ortofon Mc 30 super mk II(here you need at least 70db gain, otherwise it sounds average. then it plays three classes higher)
Ortofon rondo bronce
Ortofon cadenza bronce
Exact series( valencia, venice, vienna)
MC A 100( 100years ortofon)
Spu royal maybe more modern style,and spu meister silver more resolution as other spu models.
I own six of the cartridges on the list, I wouldn't recommend them here if I knew them inside and out
