Ortofon 2M Blue

Well worth the upgrade from the 2M Red. Improved soundstage presence, separation, and clarity over the 2M Red that came with my Project Debut Carbon. Audio Advice was quick to answer my questions and get the 2M Blue shipped out. Just buy it from Audio Advice you won’t be disappointed and the 2M Blue is Plug N Play if you have the 2M Red.

I was skeptical...

because I thought there could be not much improvement with the Blue stylus, which replaced my Ortofon Red. Boy was I surprised. My little 25 watt Harmon Kardon just couldn't really push the spatial characteristics, wide dispersion, and clarity that much, could it? The difference between the two was not quite night and day, but the emergence and separation of individual instruments, in additon to the depth of sonic "field", was pronounced. Very much so. The mounting process was easy. The stylus swap was definitely worth the cost, making it a great value. The Blue arrived seemingly overnight. I don't think there is much more I could expect that the Ortofon Blue stylus and Audio Advice did not deliver.

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.
