The Ortofon MC 90X represents a remarkable reimagining of a classic design, seamlessly blending precision engineering with the latest advancements in material science and magnetism. Building on the groundbreaking technology of its predecessor, the MC A90, the MC 90X is poised to set a new standard in the world of high-fidelity audio.

Innovative Design and Materials

At the heart of the MC 90X is a sophisticated stainless-steel structure crafted using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. This cutting-edge manufacturing process enhances the overall rigidity of the cartridge while optimizing weight and dynamic capability. The result is a robust and highly compatible cartridge that can be paired with a variety of turntables, ensuring exceptional performance across different setups.

Beneath its sleek blue steel exterior lies a perfect fusion of craftsmanship and innovation, designed to capture each note with the warmth and depth characteristic of vinyl. With the MC 90X, Ortofon aims to help audiophiles rediscover the sounds that have shaped their lives over the decades.

Exceptional Stylus Performance

Achieving linear reproduction with a wide frequency range and optimal tracking is crucial for any high-quality cartridge. The MC 90X features the renowned Ortofon Replicant 100 diamond stylus, which closely mimics the original cutting stylus. Known for its thin, light profile and exceptionally large contact surface, the Replicant 100 allows the cartridge to trace grooves with unparalleled precision.

This diamond’s unique shape, combined with a specialized polishing process and a Boron cantilever, ensures remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness, delivering an immersive audio experience that captivates listeners.

Advanced Magnet System

The magnet system of the MC 90X draws inspiration from the designs of iconic models such as the Kontrapunkt series, the MC Jubilee, and the MC Windfeld. Utilizing a compact neodymium magnet, the generator system is both lightweight and highly efficient.

Ortofon’s Field Stabilizing Element (FSE), a small cylinder of conductive material strategically placed within the magnet system, ensures a stable force field regardless of armature movement. This innovation not only improves channel separation but also minimizes dynamic distortion and intermodulation. As a result, listeners can expect more dramatic dynamics and an expansive sound stage that enhances the listening experience.

Refined Damping System

One of the standout features of the Ortofon MC 90X is its Wide Range Damping (WRD) system. This advanced design incorporates a platinum disc situated between two rubber absorbers with unique properties, ensuring superior tracking and effective damping across the entire frequency range. By minimizing distortion and resonance, the WRD system significantly enhances overall sound clarity.

Ortofon takes pride in developing and manufacturing its exclusive rubber compounds in-house, guaranteeing exceptional cartridge performance. The improved rubber components in the MC 90X play a vital role in delivering an unparalleled listening experience, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles who demand the best.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
