livagtig gengivelse

En naturtro oplevelse

MC Windfeld Ti

The MC Windfeld Ti has gone to the next level by reducing unwanted vibrations and increasing the dynamic capability of the cartridge.


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.

Uovertruffen analog gengivelse

lydoplevelse

Vores omfattende viden om vibrations egenskaber, karakteristika i forskellige former og materialer, kompetencer inden for magnetisme, mekanisk design og nye teknologier er blevet anvendt til optimering af MC Windfeld modellen.

Når den kombineres med Ortofons verdensklasse viden inden for analog lydgengivelse, vil MC Windfeld Ti uden tvivl levere en lyd, der bogstaveligt talt er uovertruffen og simpelthen skal opleves.

Ortofon Replicant 100

Stylus

En anden forudsætning for lineær gengivelse med et bredt frekvensområde og optimal sporingspræstation er en diamant - hvis form er så tæt som muligt på den originale skærende stylus.

Som en del af hele Exclusive Series, benytter MC Windfeld Ti sig af Ortofon's Replicant 100 diamant, kendt for sin tynde og lette profil og ekstraordinært store vertikale kontaktflade. Siden Replicant 100 er tættest på formen af den skærende stylus, kan den spore med en nøjagtighed, der er uden sidestykke af nogen anden stylus tilgængelig. Specialpolering af diamanten samt brugen af en Boron-nålearm giver bemærkelsesværdig gennemsigtighed, hastighed og respons, der overgår enhver anden kombination.

Fordele ved materialer af høj kvalitet

Pickuphus

SLM-teknologien og højpræcisionsprocessen fravælger traditionelle teknikker: betragtet som et ingeniørmæssigt gennembrud, svejser SLM-processen fine partikler af Titanium sammen lag for lag for at konstruere et enkelt stykke krop uden overflødigt materiale. Denne teknik muliggør præcis kontrol af materialets densitet, hvilket tillader ekstremt høj intern dæmpning.

Transmission uden tab

Boron nålearm

Brugen af Ortofons Aucurum spoler af guldbelagt, 6NX oxygenfrit kobber muliggør tabsfri transmission af diamantens bevægelser via dens Boron nålearm. Denne kombination, som også er anvendt i MC Windfeld, MC A90, og MC A95 pickupper, kombinerer lav bevægelig masse med en ekstremt høj grad af stivhed.

Særligt designet armatur

Magnetsystem

Magnetsystemet er baseret på en ekstremt stærk, kompakt neodym-magnet, hvilket giver generatorsystemet minimale dimensioner, så det både er kompakt og let.

Inspireret af elementerne i MC A95-designet anvender MC Windfeld Ti en specialdesignet armatur, der består af en metallegering, som er mindre magnetisk end almindeligt jern. Dette giver en markant fordel for pickuppens dynamiske egenskaber, da armaturet næsten ingen indflydelse har på magnetfeltet under bevægelse. Når det kombineres med Aucurum-spoler af guldbelagt 6NX oxygenfrit kobber, leverer det en kompromisløs gengivelse af nålearmens bevægelser.

Al tilbageværende magnetisk påvirkning, der kunne forårsage forvrængning, forhindres ved brug af Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) – en lille cylinder af ledende materiale, der er strategisk placeret i magnetsystemet, så kraftfeltet forbliver stabilt uanset armaturets bevægelse. FSE forbedrer Kanalseparationen og minimerer samtidig dynamisk forvrængning og intermodulation.

Øgede dynamikker

gummiophæng

En af de vigtige komponenter er Ortofons patenterede Wide Range Damping system (WRD), hvor en lille, tung platin disk er klemt mellem to gummiabsorbere, begge med forskellige egenskaber. Dette sikrer ikke kun en enestående sporingspræstation, men skaber også en perfekt dæmpning over hele frekvensområdet. På grund af dette elimineres forvrængning og resonans praktisk talt.

"... the Windfeld Ti retained all of the sweetness and lushness of the original Windfeld - something that makes it special in Ortofon's line of mostly tonally neutral cartridges - which made it supremely pleasurable to listen twice ...
... 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 especially 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 ..."

"... The MC Windfeld Ti is a well-ballanced cartridge within its performance envelope ...

... In all cases, the cartridge installation proved to be straightforward without any unexpected set-up issues. Once alignment, azimuth, tracking force, and VTA/SRA were optimized, the MC Windfeld Ti met all of its stated specifications, including channel separation, channel balance, and frequency responce ... Once dealed in, the MC Windfeld Ti tracked everything without any audible hint of distortion or mistracking ..."

...What you do get is a cartridge that performs well in all areas with nothing standing out; that is what most listeners want from a transducer. The exceptional part of this cartridge is that the listener can play nearly every album in its catalog and not be bothered by any off-putting sins of commission that make music listening uncomfortable. This ability to play whatever, whenever, is the MC Windfeld Ti's biggest asset. It's certainly worth a listen when well set up - and bring your albums with you when you do."

"A decade ago, Ortofon paid homage to its retiring design chief with a pick-up bearing his name. A hard act to follow, this new successor has had more than a makeover.

For decades we have seen constant new thinking on cartridge body materials with all kinds of wood, alloys and plastics used – and sometimes even skeletal designs with no conventional body at all. For the MC Windfeld Ti, Ortofon has chosen to stick with the alloy and stainless steel construction seen in its predecessor but add a new inner structure made of titanium (hence the suffix), using a process the company calls Selective Laser Melting (SLM). First seen in 2008’s MC A90 [HFN Sep ’09], the idea is to present the strongest and most rigid cartridge assembly to the tonearm’s headshell. The thinking is that any lost energy here can never be recovered, resulting in a diminution of dynamics and detail. The unique SLM process welds fine particles of titanium together, layer upon layer, to construct a single piece body devoid of extraneous material, says Ortofon. The technique is claimed to give precise control of the density of the body material, allowing for extremely high internal damping. The result is a lighter, quieter, and yet more rigid cartridge compared to its already sturdy predecessor.

There’s no shortage of high-end moving-coil cartridges and to earn its rightful place the Ortofon MC Windfeld Ti has to offer a distinctive proposition to buyers. This it does in no uncertain terms – it has power, scale, precision and poise, while never being an overly ‘showy’ performer. It serves up a ‘matter of fact’ sound in a more compelling way than one might think possible, giving it an admirably wide appeal."

"… The experienced developer and industrial designer Helmut Thiele presents his own the zero tracking error Tonearm Thiele TA01 with the Ortofon Winfeld Ti premounted. The Ortofon Winfeld Ti proves to be a direct hit under the TA01 headshell."

HI-FI WORLD, May 2021

"With its titanium body and excellent tracking this high-end moving coil cartridge shows its mettle ...

... In a suitable system ... the PW Ti is undoubtedly a moving coil of enormous ability and refinement, with powerful bass, superb clarity, and filigree treble, all knit together into a coherent whole."

Verdict: Smooth and refined sound with great depth. Very high quality all round.
