Product of the Year Award 2018 – The Absolute Sound"High Neutrality and High Resolution, Low Coloration and Low Distortion"Continuing Ortofon's innovative design tradition, the company is proud to introduce the MC Windfeld Ti, a new moving coil phono cartridge in the absolute high-end class. At the heart of the MC Windfeld Ti lies a revolutionary customized Selective Laser Melting manufacturing technology pioneered by Ortofon for manufacturing of the legendary MC A90 in 2008. The use of Titanium in the MC Windfeld Ti has provided a further improvement to the overall rigidity of the structure and the cartridge weight. The Absolute Sound honored the MC Windfield Ti with a Product of the Year Award 2018. According to the magazine, "Sonically, the Ti allows a listener to play nearly every album in his catalog without being bothered by any sins of commission. This ability to play whatever, whenever, is one of the MC Windfeld Ti's biggest assets. If you value high neutrality and high resolution, low coloration and low distortion, and tracking ability that rivals the best moving magnets, then this outstanding new moving coil is for you." "Wide, Deep, Stable Soundstages"No one will be disappointed by the Windfeld Ti's reproduction of space: if they were on the recording, this cartridge delivered solid, three-dimensional images on wide, deep, stable soundstages," notes Michael Fremer, Stereophile, August 2017. "With a VTF of 2.3 gm, the Windfeld Ti tracked well everything I threw at it, especially sibilants." Achieves the Next Level of PerformanceOrtofon's extensive knowledge of vibration properties, characteristics in different shapes and materials, competences in magnetism, mechanical design, and new technologies all optimize the MC Windfeld, which achieves the next level of performance with reduced vibrations and increased capability. Those who choose to adopt the MC Windfeld Ti will experience the lifelike, dynamic and open sound, with exceedingly clear midrange. The MC Windfeld Ti remains extremely musical while paying close attention to micro dynamic details, with its delicate, but also analytical nature. Perfect Mechanical IntegrationHistorically, Ortofon has always followed its own path with regard to the mechanical design of the cartridge housing, because mechanical rigidity and total freedom from resonance in the audible range are a precondition for optimal sound quality. In the MC Windfeld Ti, the cartridge’s contact with the tonerarm takes place through three hard, well-defined contact points placed on the fastening section of the cartridge. This means that the mechanical integration of the cartridge and the tonearm arm are always absolutely perfect. Compatibility and Flexible PerformanceWith optimized weight and moderate compliance to suit the majority of modern tonearms, the MC Windfeld Ti is easy compatible with a wide range high-end turntable equipment. A low output impedance of 7 ohm and a medium output voltage of 0.2 mV makes the Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti a perfect partner for most MC pre-amps as well as step-up transformers. When combined with Ortofon’s world-class knowledge in analog sound reproduction, The MC Windfeld Ti will provide unsurpassed sound which simply has to be experienced.
"Per Windfeld's tenure was an incredible achievement, and a testament to his consistent striving to advance the state of the analog arts. The MC Winfield Ti is a fitting tribute to the man, the company, and all that Ortofon has worked towards over the last 100 years. Though it's not the top cartridge of the Ortofon line up, it makes no apologies or excuses as far as delivering a stunningly neutral, clean, and liquid sound. For those who like a more forward presentation, I'd look elsewhere. But for an honest, perhaps relaxed, presentation that stays way out of its own way, the MC Windfeld Ti is a phenomenal cartridge and hopefully will remain with me for years to come." - Gregory Petan, Positive Feedback, Feburary 7, 2019 Product of the Year Award 2018 – The Absolute Sound"Sonically, the Ti allows a listener to play nearly every album in his catalog without being bothered by any sins of commission.

"Tonally and texturally, the Windfeld Ti reproduced massed strings as well as almost any other cartridge I've heard: light and gossamer where required, yet also able to dig in and grip." "The original Windfeld was great for jazz and classic, and specially voices; so was the Windfeld MkII, and it added the dynamic slam to deliver orchestral music without making me wish there was more to give on big climaxes." "No one will be disappointed by the Windfeld Ti's reproduction of space: if they were on the recording, this cartridge delivered solid, three-dimensional images on wide, deep, stable soundstages. With a VTF of 2.3 gm, the Windfeld Ti tracked well everything I threw at it, especially sibilants." - Michael Fremer, Stereophile, August 2017 Phono Cartridge Setup | Turntable with Integrated HeadshellHow to Clean the Stylus on Your Phono Cartridge
