Ortofon FF15 Any Good?


I got an Ortofon FF15E MKII (with a red stylus assembly) mixed with some other stuff. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this cartridge. I'm particularly wondering if it's worth buying a new stylus assembly for it. (It seems to me that the stylus price is, at most, about $40, from what I see on dealer's websites.) Or, is this cartridge one that's too old to be worth bothering with, and should be installed at the bottom of a land fill?

You should be able to fit a VMS 20E or VMS 30 stylus in the FF15 body. In the 80s, Ortofon had a standard body to which they fitted different stylus assemblies to make different carts. The VMS 20 and 30 were fantastic carts in their day - quite refined for a MM and would track absolutely anything
