Ortofon MC 90X Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge

The Ortofon MC 90X features the Replicant 100 diamond, renowned for its thin, light profile and exceptionally large contact surface, allowing it to trace grooves with unmatched precision.

Achieving linear reproduction with a wide frequency range and optimal tracking requires a diamond that closely mimics the original cutting stylus. Combined with a special polishing process and a Boron cantilever, this design ensures remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness, delivering exceptional sound quality for an immersive audio experience.

Celebrating the lineage of the iconic MC A90, the MC 90X is a reimagining of a classic, combining precision engineering with advancements in material science and magnetism.

Designed to bring out the depth and detail in every record, this limited-edition cartridge builds on Ortofon’s expertise in analogue sound reproduction while introducing improved rubber dampers and a striking new blue finish.

The stainless-steel structure, crafted using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology, provides excellent rigidity and resonance control.

The Wide Range Damping system, Field Stabilizing Element, and Ortofon Replicant 100 diamond stylus work together to capture the full depth and nuance of even the finest vinyl pressings.

Each cartridge is meticulously hand-assembled and undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure an authentic and immersive vinyl experience. With a richly detailed midrange and extended frequency response, the MC 90X stays true to the original recording, offering a refined listening experience that continues the legacy of the MC A90.
