Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue


I have a Project debut carbon turntable with an Ortofon red cartridge but I'm considering an upgrade to the blue.  I'm wondering if anyone has used both the red cartridge and the blue cartridge, and if so could you please tell me the sonic differences.  Thanks

Uberdine,

If you have any cartridge that is suffering from inner groove distortion then you may need to adjust the SRA, or even use a differnent VTA curve when setting up the table.  

Inner groove distortion is not a cartridge fault, it is a set up error.

Irish_tim,
My two cents, the Red is remarkable and very similar to the Blue.  If your looking for something different, try another brand of cartridge.. Audio Technica, Denon, Nagaoka to namr a few all have excellent models in this price range..  There are also many fine vintage Ortofons (and others)  that can be had for a song, even with a new replacement styli.  Have fun with your next selection, stretch a little and do something different.
