Choosing the Perfect PS Audio Aspen Speaker: FR30 vs. FR20 vs. FR10

When it comes to audio perfection, PS Audio's Aspen Series stands out, offering three outstanding options: the FR30, FR20, and FR10. Let's explore the unique features of each speaker to help you make an informed decision.

Ortofon’s MC X Series represents a new wave in high-fidelity vinyl playback. Building on the solid foundation of the Quintet range, this series introduces a more refined, high-performance line of moving coil (MC) cartridges—all designed and assembled in Denmark.
While the models share core design elements—such as a honeycomb stainless-steel body, silver-plated pure copper coils, and a refined magnet system—the key differences lie in stylus shape, cantilever material, and sonic character. These factors have a profound effect on how the cartridge interacts with the grooves and conveys the music.
Let’s break down the differences between the MC X10, X20, X30, and X40 to help you choose the model that suits your setup and listening preferences.
