Ortofon Replacement Stylus 2M Red

I love my ortofon red yes there are better performing cartridges and styli available but ortofon has a particular sound that many of us find pleasing I am one of those that enjoys the subtle quarks and moments of audio bliss this cartridge and styli can reproduce under the right circumstances for the money I am more than happy with the reds performance just take the time to set up your cart according to your turntable specifications and you should be a happy audio camper

Perfect replacement stylus for the red cartridge

This was exactly what I needed to replace the needle that got used up. Simple Ortofon styling where all I had to do was slide off the old and slide on the new. Since this was exactly like the previous cartridge, there were no adjustments that needed to be made. When I tested the needle, the sound from my vinyl was awesome!!! Highly recommend!!!! A+++

The stylus is a perfect replacement and all I was expecting.

A great sounding cartridge

This came with my turntable and I accidentally brushed against the stylus and broke it having to replace and I did with the same... love it - sounds amazing and was simple to switch out!

Low and mid frequency outstanding. Unfortunately high frequency is a bit disappointing.

My setup includes: Pro-Ject Debut DC Turntable Pro-Ject Phono Box MM preamp Yaoin Tube Amplifier Pioneer BS21 Bookshelf Speakers I purchased this stylus to replace the old Ortofon 2M Red that came with my Pro-Ject DC turntable. The first stylus lasted almost 3 years of hard use before I started to notice a decline in sound quality. Even then, the stylus sounded as good as a lower end stylus and would have lasted much longer if I didnt know how great it sounded new. This stylus gives high end results without breaking the bank and has incredible durability. I highly recommend!

Received package within 3 days. This is the needle for my pro-ject turn table, so I was worried about getting it damaged in shipping.. but the box in which needle is packed was really good and safe.. ortofon 2m needle is really great. The sound it produce is very clean and crisp.. The advantage is that when we break the needle we dont have to take it to repair shop to fix it.. its very simple to replace this needle.. I can rate the build quality as 5 on 5. The sound quality is 4 on 5 .. just because I have heard better sounding needles. But sound is very subjective.. Over all its a great needle.

Excellent!
