Ortofon has long been synonymous with excellence in analogue sound reproduction, and now, the brand is reviving one of its most legendary moving coil cartridges. Henley Audio are excited to introduce the Ortofon MC 90X, a modern reimagining of the iconic MC A90 - a cartridge that revolutionised the world of high-end vinyl playback. With refined technology, an eye-catching blue finish, and a limited production run, the MC 90X is set to uphold the legacy of its predecessor while bringing new innovations to the table.

Each MC 90X cartridge is meticulously hand-assembled and undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure a truly immersive vinyl experience. Ortofon’s engineering expertise is on full display with key features such as:
- Field Stabilizing Element (FSE): Maintains a stable magnetic field, enhancing dynamics and channel separation.
- Wide Range Damping: Ensures a flat frequency response and extends the upper-frequency range.
- Ortofon Replicant 100 Diamond Stylus: Renowned for its transparency, speed, and remarkable precision.
- Upgraded Ortofon Rubber Dampers: Developed in-house for optimized resonance control across the frequency spectrum.
One of the standout aspects of the MC 90X is Ortofon’s in-house rubber production. By developing exclusive rubber compounds, Ortofon guarantees the highest level of performance, ensuring the MC 90X delivers both the warmth and clarity that audiophiles demand. The newly developed rubber dampers play a crucial role in refining resonance control, further elevating the cartridge’s overall musicality.
The Ortofon MC 90X is not just a cartridge—it’s a statement piece for vinyl enthusiasts who seek the finest in analogue playback.
