CONCLUSION
Dry, fast, extremely detailed and almost concussive, the A95 is a highly tuned mechanical statement. It is not lush, warm or cuddly, but rather a machine of insight and deep analysis.
    Massively capable, the A95 is a cartridge that makes the LP sound better all-round than I have ever heard it. Almost frightening! It is sort of CD like in its qualities – only better.


ORTOFON A95 £3,750

OUTSTANDING - amongst the best.

VERDICT
An advanced-technology MC cartridge that digs deep and reveals all. Forensic ability and fast, dynamic sound.
