Ortofon 2M Red 

Unbeatable in the sub $200 category

The Ortofon 2M Red is certainly a very entertaining cartridge, providing a big, solid, spacious sound with good detail and excellent dynamics. The delivery is crisp and punchy across the entire frequency range, with a particularly nicely textured bass, and can be very impressive on well-recorded material.

Features

  • A tipped elliptical diamond 
  • An improved engine, with split pole pins and copper wire, for higher output and dynamics
  • A body made of resonance reducing Hopelex

"...The 2M line has become a de-facto reference for moving-magnet cartridges...it is due to both the sound quality of the various 2M models"
