from 437 reviewsWithout any prior break-in, the system performs perfectly right from the start. Bass is deep and present, and the resolution is excellent. Sound is highly balanced, and the timbre of the strings is remarkably realistic. I have rarely heard a system delivering such a convincing and accomplished performance—at least, not at this price point. I am discovering again my records contents !
used them for a long time being a dj
Simply fantastic!!!
Was a Great Upgrade to stylus 10!
Very accurate and sensitive Libelle.
I own all three. When I bought my Verismo it was a revelation, cartridge that could offer digital levels of dynamic performance and detail "mano a mano". I then decided to add an MC X40, a bargain in comparison so why not? To my surprise it differs from the Verismo just in the nth level of detail and bass control unless you have sharp listening skills and heard them back to back almost indistinguishable!!, not given the new stylus geometry, I had to have the X50! Wow another bargain, the small delta in detail of the X40 resolved, now utterly indistinguishable from is much more expensive predecessor in detail retrieval and with the same bass character and dynamic performance as the X40. Goal accomplished Ortofon should give themselves a pat on the back. They have brought the performance of a reference level transducer to the to a much larger segment of vinyl aficionados. This is a cart, that by all measures, is as good as it gets.
I bought these from a suggestion from a friend. Don't regret the purchase. Solid.
This is a great cartridge, great sound.
Even more well defined than the superb Concorde Music Black. Stage, presence, and the bass response feels very accurate. The stiffer boron cantilever must have big influence here !
Going from ortofon Red to Blue (on a Technics 1200GR) really makes the difference. Glad I bought it.
I purchased the D 25 M Stylus for my single mono album by a jazz guitarist. Thing is I didn't know at the time that the album was mono! So I played it anyway using the stock stereo stylus. It just didn't sound right. I installed the D 25 M and it was simply magic! A different experience opened up in front of me! I'm going to open-up my listening experience to include mono recordings. One more thing-I just purchased the OM 20; can't wait to hear it!
It is a big improvement over the 2m Blue. Don’t get me wrong love the blue, but the bronze wow. Cymbals now dound like the should.
Great headshell!
Does the job!
Easy
