Ortofon - 2M HiFi Phono Cartridge With Elliptical Diamond Stylus - Red

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 2M Bronze features a nude Fine Line diamond stylus which is particularly suited for demanding applications. The slim profile of the Fine Line stylus will track even the highest frequency information making it a must for discerning listeners. Additionally its larger footprint ensures reduced distortion and record wear.The cartridge body used for the 2M Bronze is manufactured from a newly-developed Lexan DMX Piano Black a revolutionary material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.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.The 2M Bronze uses a special upgraded engine featuring split pole pins with a silver plated copper wire.2M Black Specifications:Output voltage at 1000 Hz 5cm/sec: 5mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 1 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz: 26 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency range at - 3 dB: 20-29.000 HzFrequency response: 20-20.000 + 2 / - 0 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 80 micrometersCompliance dynamic lateral: 22 micrometers/mNStylus type: Nude Fine LineStylus tip radius: r/R 8/40 micrometersTracking force range: 14-17g (14-17 mN)Tracking force recommended: 15 g (15 mN)Tracking angle: 20 degreesInternal impedance DC resistance: 12 kOhmInternal inductance: 630 mHRecommended load resistance: 47 kOhmRecommended load capacitance: 150-300 pFCartridge colour body/stylus: Black/BronzeCartridge weight: 7.2gReplacement stylus unit: 2M Bronze (interchangeable with 2M Black)Stylus protection guard: 2M BronzeWhat's In The Box:1 x Stylus brush1 x Screwdrive

The Audio-Technica AT-VMx series enhances its premium dual moving magnet cartridges with greater warmth detail and realism. Featuring dual magnets aligned to the stereo groove it delivers excellent channel separation and frequency response. Upgrades like PCUHD® copper wire and reduced coil turns improve clarity and transient response. The paratoroidal coil design and center shield plate reduce crosstalk for a cleaner stereo image. Practical features include easy-mount threaded inserts and a V-cut stylus guard for precise placement making the VMx series a refined user-friendly choice for high-quality vinyl playback.The lightweight microlinear stylus of the AT-VM740xML allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply can’t match.FeaturesAT-VM740xML VMx Microlinear Phono CartridgeMicrolinear StylusParatoroidal Coils Improve Channel Separation Channel Balance and Transient ResponseCenter Shield Plate Reduces CrosstalkDurable Low-Resonance Polymer HousingAluminum CantileverCompatible with Any Turntable Headshell That Accepts 1/2” CartridgesAll in the DesignThe Vertical Dual Magnet (MM) design closely mirrors the cutter head used to make the vinyl master. The cutter head uses two transducer coils mounted perpendicular to each other at 45° from horizontal to cut the channel: one in each wall of the 90° record groove. AT-VMx cartridges use the same 90° V-Shape configuration as the cutter head. This way the cartridge achieves accurate tracking excellent channel separation high definition of the stereo image and extreme clarity over the entire audio spectrum.Easy to Install & UseEach VMx cartridge body has threaded inserts enabling it to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws – no nuts

This VM95 Series cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus fits half-inch mount turntables. The cartridge’s special coil design delivers a powerful output level of 4.0 mV. It also offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. The durable low-resonance housing includes threaded inserts that enable the cartridge to be mounted to the headshell with just two screws – no nuts required. And since all VM95 Series share the same body the stylus can be replaced with any of the six interchangeable AT-VMN95 replacement styli. FeaturesVM95 Series dual magnet cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylusAluminum cantileverSpecially wound coils increase output voltageDurable low-resonance polymer housingThreaded inserts in cartridge body enable cartridge to be mounted to headshell with just two screws – no nuts requiredCompatible with any AT-VMN95 replacement stylusWhat's in the BoxAT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet CartridgeTwo 11mm installation screwsTwo 8mm installation screwsTwo washersSpecificationsFrequency response: 20 - 22000HzChannel separation: 20dB at 1kHzVertical tracking force: 1.8 - 2.2g (2.0g standard)Stylus construction: Bonded round shankRecommended load impedance: 47000 ohmsOutput: 4.0mV (1kHz 5cm/sec)Channel balance: 2.0dB (1kHz)Stylus shape: 0.3 x 0.7 mil ellipticalCantilever: Aluminum pipeMount: Half-inchReplacement stylus: AT-VMN95ECoil impedance: 3.3k ohms (1kHz)DC resistance: 485 ohmsLoad capacitance: 100 to 200pFCoil inductance: 550mH (1kHz)Vertical tracking angle: 23°Dimensions (H x W x D): 0.68" x 0.74" x 1.2"<
