Ha! I did that too on a different site. I keep hoping nobody asks for pics before I get everything. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. My only experience with Ortofon has been with the 2M mm line up through the bronze and wasn't crazy about them, but sounds like the Cadenza MC's are a whole different animal. Hard to find a negative review of the bronze or black.

A Cadenza Black is a tough one to beat in the $3K range. I even preferred it over an A90 I had. Ortofon knows how to build cartridges to a price point.
