14-06-2025I went back to Red after spending the past year and a half with Ortofons Blue cartridge/stylus. Not totally a matter of choice -- the price difference was the decider. Plus, I wanted to see if I could tell a difference in sonics worth the bucks, since the Blue costs more than double the Red. I was able to simply switch out the stylus, since the 2m cartridge works with both. Nice. After the break-in period, I came to the conclusion that the Blue delivered a better, more life-like experience, especially with the highs. I listen to a lot of Miles Davis. It matters. But the Red is a fine entry-level audiophile product, at an excellent price. I first went with Ortofon about three years ago at the urging of an audio guru who heard me griping about the sound from my Music Hall USB1 turntable. He was right. The upgraded sonics provided by replacing the factory-provided cartridge with the Red were dramatic and indisputable. Then it got even better with Blue. You cant go wrong. There are a few people out there who believe the Red is the better delivery system (over the Blue) and Im happy to hear that. But, nah. Ill probably go back to Blue next year, but only after enjoying many hours of sweet audio with my old friend big Red.

Greater than one weekThis stylus was bundled with my Technics 1500 C turntable. Im no turntable expert but can say as a veteran producer and musician that the sound is great from this stylus. Would purchase again.

Greater than one weekI love Ortofon 2M series. I dont have the money to drop on the more expensive ones, but I have no sound complaints. I would like to upgrade to a 2M blue series, but will continue to have a 2M red on hand, no matter what. Price is right and swap out is fast and easy.
