I've been using OC9s for 10 years. It's the best cartridge I have found at the price if you like detail, rhythm and timing and incredible tracking ability.

I had a brief flirtation with an Ortofon MC25FL, and there was no comparison. The OC9 ML is more musical, accurate and detailed. Built well too, and at £270 you really can't do better IMO.

Used with Pink triangle LPT - RB300 and now PT Too Alphason Hr100s - HOWEVER there is a slight incompatibility in that the full overhang cannot be acheived in the HR100s causing mild mistracking at the extremes, I need to sort this out really....

Product Weakness:	May not be compatible with all arms - is not 'warm and cuddly'
Product Strengths:	Detail, musical, a bargain!
