Reports[edit]

  • Stereoplay issue 3/2006
    • Sound: top class
    • Price/Performance: very good
    • Overall rating: good - very good
"The Bronze paints with natural timbres, presents finest details like on a silver platter and is still the most dynamic pickup of the family."
  • hifi & records issue 4/2006
"...the Rondo Bronze does justice to every demand and can, if necessary, also be a bit more powerful. It is very pleasing that you don't have to invest a fortune for such a high class pickup. Of course, there is more 'on top', but it will require considerably more money. Ortofon's new Rondo Bronze provides a high level of analogue listening pleasure, without being restricted to a particular musical genre. This more than 'value for money' pickup deserves an unqualified recommendation."
