    Great upgrade for an AT-LP120

    I bought this since the stylus I wanted wasn't in stock and I am very glad I did. The cartridge is Made in Japan, so I replaced the stock Chinese cartridge that came with my AT-LP120XUSB turn table. The sound is a big upgrade over the stock AT-VM95E stylus and worth the money.

    Big upgrade

    Upgrade this from the original stylus on my AT Lp 120 and the upgrade in sound and clarity is huge. Very little distortion and excellent channel separation.

    Great upgrade.

    Fantastic sound quality and easy install. Used in combination with the Crowley stylus cleaner I get zero pops and crackles. (Unless your vinyl is scratched. Not much to be done about that)

Ortofon - 2M HiFi Cartridge With Nude Elliptical Diamond Stylus - Blue

The 2M Series of cartridges is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Ortofon's philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible without coloring the sound.The name 2M was selected from several ideas. Ortofon wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM which is the abbreviation for moving magnet. The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series.   We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.2M Blue Series Features:an improved engine which provides an increased output of 5.5mVNude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire2M Blue Series Specifications:Output voltage at 1000 Hz 5cm/sec: 5mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 15 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz: 25 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency range at - 3 dB: 20-25.000 HzFrequency response: 20-20.000 + 2 / - 1 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 80 micrometersCompliance dynamic lateral: 20 micrometers/mNStylus type: Nude EllipticalStylus tip radius: r/R 8/18 micrometersTracking force range: 16-20g (16-20 mN)Tracking force recommended: 18 g (18 mN)Tracking an

Questions & Answers

  • I have a vintage Technics turntable SL Q2, would it be compatible to this cartridge?

    Yes, it would.

  • How does this system dampen external vibrations from causing the arm to bounce?

    By using a tuned stylus suspension system and a low-resonance polymer cartridge body. It is also important to match the compliance of any cartridge to the effective mass of the tonearm it is to be used with in order to keep the resonance frequency of the tonearm/cartridge combination within the preferred resonance frequency range (7 to 12 Hz).
