Ortofon Stylus Pro S

Ortofon products are absolutely the best.I use them to play Serato Scratch, and they are flawless. Frank Johnson Quito-Ecuador

After receiving my stylus, I did not have time to install it for a couple of weeks. After installing, I notice that the LPs that I attempted to play, the volume would only rise to a certain level, very soft. I am just so tired of sending items back that it just didnt seem worth the aggravation, then again Im not in the best of health at the moment, so I didnt need to stress out. Lately IM getting inferior products. Howard Posey

Good condition.

good needle

Otofon cartriges and stylii are for the audiophile. Theyre among the finest. But, the finest is almost always the most expensive. Im a serious classical musician, and I seek for the best in my audio equipment. I have a collection of 33s going back to over 50 years ago. I enjoy listening to them, but I want to protect them. The Ortofon is about the lightest tracking stylus for the lightest tracking cartrige available. Phono records have lost their popularity due to the emergence of CDs. So one would naturally expect phono stylii to go up in price . . . and they have . . . very much so. While shopping around, I was looking at various stylii for my Ortofon cartrige, while comparing prices. I was surprised and delighted when I found this stylus for about 1/4 to 1/5 the price of others with identical specifications. Ive had it for quite a while now, have used it a lot, and it works great. FANTASTIC STYLUS AT A FANTASTIC PRICE!!

Excellent quality and delivery time

Not sure if i got a bum pair, but these wound up sounding awful. They sound far worse than the needles Ive been using and wearing down for 10 years. Grainy and distorted mid-range, on both needles.

Good needle

Great stylus. Dont listen to the reviewer that claims he/she has been using them for years and they arent good for scratching. I am a DJ and use these on my turntables and they are amazing for scratching! Both standard vinyl and Serato DVS control vinyl. As long as you setup your turntable properly, they wont skip or wear records very fast. You should be using a stylus protractor (Baerwald) to properly align the cart on the headshell, then you should be using a stylus weight to make sure the tracking force is dialed in correctly. As long as you do that, these will perform like champ when scratching. Even the almighty Shure M447 requires proper setup for it to be the beast its been known to be. Theres a guy on the DJ reddit as I write this asking why his Shure is skipping. He didnt set it up right. These Ortofon OM Pro S stylus are great and Id put them up against anything else!

Nice on the cuts
