  • Nude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with copper wire.
  • The cartridge body is manufactured from Hopelex, an environment-friendly material that ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.

Ortofon has 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 upgrade from the Ortofon Red to the Blue is a game changer!

Leveling up

A most worthy and significant upgrade from the 2m red I had. Connected to my Pro-Ject Carbon and running it with a Cambridge Duo, the 2m Blue was like a game changing DAC in terms of opening up and unfolding the music through some Buchardt S400MKII’s. I did not find it to create any harsh brightness or upper midrange bite when my preamp EQ was in passive mode. So impressed with the improvement in soundstage, separation and detail. A super value too at this price.

Very nice!

Love it! It’s on my vintage Marantz receiver and a genesis manual bet drive table ( not vintage). The 2m blue Ortophon sounds lovely, clear, and demonstrates distinction between individual instruments and vocalists.

Significant budget vinyl upgrade

I have a low-cost stereo and put a lot more money into my album purchases than equipment, but this stylus upgrade to my Ortofon Red MM cart was long overdue and worth every penny! The improved stylus seems to add more detail to everything.

Ortofon 2m Blue

Installed it yesterday, sounds great on some of the new vinyl ( Miles Davis Ascenseour pour l'echafaud), older lp"s have a lot of bumps and clicks (Hotel California), this cartridge picks up everything, The output challenges my paradigm mini monitors and subwoofer. If you can afford it go for it.
