As featured in the entire Exclusive Series, the MC Windfeld Ti makes use of Ortofon’s Replicant 100 diamond, known for its thin and light profile and extraordinarily large vertical contact surface. Since the Replicant 100 is closest to the shape of the cutting stylus, it can trace with accuracy unparalleled by any other stylus in existence. Special polishing of the diamond along with the use of a Boron cantilever offers remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness beyond that of any other combination. /* Giới hạn chiều ngang tối đa */ .custom-section { max-width: 1600px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 80px 40px; background-color: #f8f8f8; color: #222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; } /* Dòng giới thiệu nhỏ */ .custom-section .subtitle { font-style: italic; font-size: 18px; color: #444; margin-bottom: 20px; } /* Tiêu đề chính */ .custom-section h2 { font-size: 52px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 40px; } /* Bố cục 2 cột */ .custom-section .content { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 40px; } .custom-section .column { flex: 1 1 48%; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.7; } /* Video section */ .custom-video { max-width: 1600px; margin: 40px auto; text-align: center; } .custom-video iframe, .custom-video video { width: 100%; max-width: 1600px; height: 600px; border: none; border-radius: 10px; } /* Responsive */ @media (max-width: 900px) { .custom-section h2 { font-size: 36px; } .custom-section .column { flex: 1 1 100%; } .custom-video iframe, .custom-video video { height: 300px; } } Benefits of high-end materials Cartridge body The SLM technology and high precision process eschews traditional techniques: considered an engineering breakthrough, the SLM process welds fine particles of Titanium together, layer-by layer, to construct a single piece body devoid of extraneous material. This technique allows for precise control of the density of the body material, allowing for extremely high internal damping. The final result provides freedom over vibrations within the cartridge body material.The use of Titanium in the MC Windfeld Ti has provided a further improvement to the overall rigidity of the structure, the cartridge weight and its dynamic capability. Zero-loss transmission Boron cantilever Using Ortofon’s Aucurum coils of gold-plated, 6NX oxygen-free copper allows for zero-loss transmission of the diamond’s movements via its Boron cantilever. This combination, which has also been employed for use in the MC Windfeld, MC A90, and MC A95 cartridges, combines low moving mass with an extremely high degree of rigidity. Special designed armature Magnet system The magnet system is based on an extremely strong, compact neodymium magnet, which makes the generator system both compact and lighter through its minimal dimensions. Inspired by the elements of MC A95 design, the MC Windfeld Ti makes use of a specially designed armature comprised of a metal alloy which is less magnetic than normal iron. This provides noteworthy benefit to the dynamic capabilities of the cartridge. The reason for this is that our high-tech armature has almost no influence on the magnetic field during movement. Hence, when combined with the Aucurum coils of gold-plated 6NX oxygen-free copper, it delivers perfect reproduction of the cantilever movements without compromise. Any trace of remaining magnetic influences that would create distortion is prevented by the use of a Field Stabilizing Element (FSE) - a small cylinder of conductive material strategically placed inside the magnet system, which guarantees that the force field remains stable regardless of the movement of the armature. FSE improves the channel separation, while at the same time minimizing dynamic distortion and intermodulation. /* Giới hạn chiều ngang tối đa */ .custom-section { max-width: 1600px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 80px 40px; background-color: #f8f8f8; color: #222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; } /* Dòng giới thiệu nhỏ */ .custom-section .subtitle { font-style: italic; font-size: 18px; color: #444; margin-bottom: 20px; } /* Tiêu đề chính */ .custom-section h2 { font-size: 52px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 40px; } /* Bố cục 2 cột */ .custom-section .content { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 40px; } .custom-section .column { flex: 1 1 48%; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.7; } /* Hình ảnh thay video */ .custom-image { max-width: 1600px; margin: 40px auto; text-align: center; } .custom-image img { width: 100%; max-width: 1600px; height: auto; border-radius: 10px; border: none; display: block; margin: 0 auto; } /* Responsive */ @media (max-width: 900px) { .custom-section h2 { font-size: 36px; } .custom-section .column { flex: 1 1 100%; } } Increased dynamics Rubber suspension One of the important components is Ortofon’s patented Wide Range Damping system (WRD), in which a small, heavy platinum disc is sandwiched between two rubber absorbers, both with different properties. This ensures not only an exceptional tracking performance but also creates a perfect damping through the entire frequency range. Because of this, distortion and resonance are virtually eliminated. The Wide Range Damping system enables MC Windfeld Ti to achieve the most linear frequency response and the highest upper frequency limit ever, which at the same time tracks a fantastic 90 μm at a vertical tracking force of 2.3 grams. The result is increased dynamics, resolution, and richness in detail. /* Container tổng */ .review-section { max-width: 1600px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 100px 40px; background-color: #1f1f1f; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: flex-start; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 40px; } /* Cột bên trái */ .review-left { flex: 1 1 45%; } .review-left h2 { font-size: 52px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0; color: #ffffff; } /* Cột bên phải */ .review-right { flex: 1 1 45%; } .review-right p { font-size: 22px; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 30px 0; } .review-right .author { font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 30px; } .review-right .source { font-size: 16px; color: #cccccc; } /* Responsive */ @media (max-width: 900px) { .review-section { flex-direction: column; padding: 60px 20px; } .review-left h2 { font-size: 36px; margin-bottom: 20px; } .review-right p { font-size: 18px; } } Stereophile.com August 2017 “"... 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 ... ...

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."“ David Price www.hifinews.co.uk LP Magazine, Germany, August 2021 “"… 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."“ Holger Barske www.lp-magazin.de 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.
