from 203 reviewsAfter a good 50hrs running in time the 2m black really does sound special. Listening to vinyl albums I've played so many times before and didn't realise how much detail I was missing (om20) used previously and I thought that was good.
This tool is necessary to own if you want to have perfectly set up your cartridge. It’s built from plastic, not cardboard, so it’ll last a very long time. Definitely recommended.
A great help in preseving the good audio quality of vinyl records!
Was sent it quickly.
Great stylus. I use it with my Brian Eno turntable and it blends in perfectly.
Top notch quality. Looks and feels much better quality than my standard Audio Technica headshell I had previously. And it’s got azimuth adjustment. There is only one but… it’s much heavier. I had to adapt my counterweight to acomodate a new headshell. As I have an engineering inclined mind I had no problems with a little fix. I would definitely recommend it.
Perhaps the best House/Techno DJ stylus available! Clean, warm and punchy, uncolored reproduction of the music on your records. They are also nice and loud but clear with no audible distortion.
What a great little stylus pressure gauge. Drop the stylus into the groove at the weight that you want and adjust the Tonearm to get the gauge to balance. What a simple and elegant design. Nice one Ortofon.
I see the difference between my old one : more accurate, avery instrument is more distinguishable
Simply excellent
Great product.
It works fine and it is very solid. My best recommandations
The last Ortofon cartridge I owned was a MC20, maybe 40-45 years ago. But the other day I stumbled upon reviews of this little gem, and every reviewer loved it to pieces. I knew right away that I had to own it.
I took great care installing it in my Audiomods Series Six tonearm the next day, and it didn't disappoint me. It works flawlessly with my Ortofon ST-80SE as well.
Now, some 12 hours of playing time later, it displays the most perfect balance in the entire frequency range I have ever experienced, and it is fast too, revealing the soul of one lovely piece of music after another, never fatiguing, and digging details that keeps surprising me out of the grooves of albums I believed I knew extremely well. It's a gem, a bargain, and a keeper.
Super, very pleased
Initially this stylus was an upgrade from my previous Ortofon bronze 2MM. It was so good that after 1200 hours of use I replaced it with a second one. The level of detail is very impressive. The specificity in accurate tonality is a delight. The decay of notes is very satisfying; definitely eargasmic. You can hear differences between recordings that would not be evident even with other MC cartridges. You have to step into the 3k U.S.dollars price range in MC cartridges to notice a significant difference. This is a lovely addition to my system and probably to your system as well. Ortofon I love you!
