| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black I would second the idea of NOT ever buying a used cartridge/stylus unless you know the seller well. @chrisoshea We are talking about NEW OLD STOCK cartridge, not a USED CARTRIDGE? Do you know what is New Old Stock ? Never used, never mounted, lik... | |
| MC suggestions @lewm I guest you don’t have an Ortofon booklet with your sample refurbished by Axel for Nandric? There is all info about the cantilever in the booklet every NOS owner have in the package, there are some nice pictures of the cantilever and stylus ... | |
| MC suggestions First of all you have to read this article about tonearm/cartridge resonance. This will help to select a cartridge for your amr correctly. If your cartridge is made in japan then compliance measured @100Hz, but for correct calculation you must kno... | |
| MC suggestions Ortofon MC2000 is spectacular if you have an appropriate high gain phono stage or dedicated SUT for it. I’ve been able to find unused NOS (New Old Stock) and the package is very impressive with invitation to the ortofon Golden Ear Club. This is a ... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black If I install the 2m black cartridge (with black body) on my mmf 2.2 and properly setup vta, vtf, azimuth, overhang etc. will I be able to at least extract 90% of the 2m blacks potential in performance? No, you will never get the quality of 2M Bla... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black @viridian And I will respectfully disagree... With turntable and tonearm like yours you're indeed free to disagree, you sold it as i can see, hope you can buy a coreless direct drive to forget about the "sound" of turntable forever. Personally ... | |
| Ortofon 2M Bronze It would be around $440.00 to purchase the entire new Bronze cartridge. Just would like to save a little cash if possible. Thanks, Boogerhead. If you want to save, It would be better to purchase an entirely different cartridge for $280 with Nude... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black @bsmg just stick to your Ortofon if you don’t want to discover much better MM cartridges from the past. They are available in NOS (never used) condition, sometimes even factory sealed and still cheaper than those Orotofon models you’re using. As i... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black @bsmg I will stick with what the Ortofon engineers have published This is for marketing purpose only, read what Peter replied to you, i believe he’s experienced with both carts and styli if you will click on the link in his post (you will see). A... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black No, the Ortofon black stylus cannot be used with the blue cartridge body. This according to the Ortofon website. I think you have no idea what you’re talking about, no matter what stated on the Ortofon website, here is a comparison chart of all m... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli Thought you were asking for guidance in hooking it up and you're already hooked up. Thanks @hdm , but It was @lewm who said that something wrong, see below Chakster, the way you have hooked up your Grace to your stereo system could cause a d... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli We’re looking at Denon 102 just as a guide? Because i don’t want another mono cartridge. My Grace F14 Mono has been pre-mounted on dedicated Grace headahell with leadwires already connected (correctly). I’m checking all my new carts with Test Reco... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black The OP's turntable Music Hall 2.2 is almost like Pro-Ject Debute Carbon designed for use with Ortofon 2M Blue or Red, those turntables suplied by the manufacturer with Ortofon cartridge as optimum and cost effective solution. It's a low budget tur... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli This is the "Y" type MONO lead wires, i have almost the same with my Grace F14 MONO | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black You can upgrade components all your life and still not get the most out of your vinyl :) |
