KNOWLEDGE AND PRECISION

For over 90 years Ortofon’s singular dedication to accuracy in sound has never wavered. Maintaining the tradition, the recently introduced Windfeld has received an outstanding review from the world’s most highly respected analogue journalist Michael Fremer from Stereophile magazine.

The accolades continue with another top review on the Rondo Bronze by Art Dudley from Stereophile.

Ortofon’s outstanding new tonearms are featured with a choice of 9" or 12” static and dynamic designs rounding out a sophisticated range.

Ortofon Windfeld


"The Windfeld produced a convincing and especially coherent soundfield that was capable delineating with great specificity the positions of instruments from the front to the rear ...

... until the Windfeld I can reca

ll hearing none that produced such perfect symmetry of tonality and texture at both ends of the audioband - without inducting boredom, or a sensation of wanting more of something.

...But the more I listened, and the more I compared what I was hearing to what I hear from live music, the easier it was to conclude that the Ortofon Windfeld might be the most tonally neutral cartridge I've ever auditioned.”

Ortogon Rondo Bronze"Rondo Bronze played music so well that I enjoyed it for weeks before pausing to notice an especially important aspect of its sound: After several dozen LP sides, I couldn't recall hearing much in the way of surface noise.

In every event I'm impressed to see and hear such fine new workfrom an old company that's far from being a tired company-and wondering, as always, what they'll do next. Very strongly recommended.

"It only took just one track into my first LP before I was mentally calculating whether I could afford to buy Rondo this month or wherter I'd have to wait until the next month.
