Red or dead
Just a great high quality cost effective modern solution for older turntables as well. I have many cartridges and these just sound great with loads of detail and plenty of punch too... Easy to upgrade to the Blue stylus if you must. PS.I don't work for Ortofon -Lol I just think its a good product from a historic company.

great cartridge for the price
Upgraded from a rega carbon on the planner 2, huge improvement in sound stage being wider, and placing of sounds, detail has greatly improved through all sounds. Looks very modern and 2M blue also fits on this cartridge. Overall a great cartridge for the price.

Ortofon 2M - Red Cartridge
I've been an audio enthusiast since my early teens and I have never before heard ANY playback component give as much perfection and pure dynamic excellence than this cartridge, For my money this is the single most important and perfect instrumentation that is such pure ear-candy to me. Hands-down

SME 3009 and Ortofon 2M Red
Just fitted the 2M Red to my SME 3009 tone arm. I have a Thorens TD 160b MkII turntable and all work well together. The cartridge was easy to install and the following setup was straight forward. The sound is well balanced and a joy to listen to.

Ortofon 2M Blue
This cartridge was recommended for my record deck (Rega Planar 3) it has brought my record collection back to life granted I was overdue for a replacement. The bass and percussion sound amazing and it cost £30 less than local shops

Quality at a fair price
I have recently installed an Ortofone red cartridge in a Linn Sondek turntable system. Previously I had an Ortofone turbo m/c cartridge. This one in my opinion is better. There are certain records that had parts of distortion which have now gone! I can recommend this pickup.

Good value cartridge
I find this to be a satisfying cartridge with a good balance. I prefer it to my ortofon vms20e which is already pretty good. Seems a bit more focused, but maybe the vms is past it's best. Nice to be able to upgrade to the blue stylus,but I've not tried that.

Ortofon 2m red
Beautiful clean sound. Louder than my A&R P77. You can notice deeper bass.
