> 3 dayThe sound of this cartridge is well known, but I want to talk about something else: how easy it is to change the stylus. All the fittings are by friction. The old stylus comes off easily if you squeeze and pull in the intuitive direction. Keep the old one around to figure out the orientation of the new one, unless you have a fine topological mind. Once you have the right direction the new stylus slips on easily. Now the good part: theres a stylus cover which also comes off with a little pull in a direction completely different than the direction of mounting the stylus itself. In other words, when you pull off the cover, you can NOT mess up the orientation of the stylus. Thank you Ortofon!

08-06-2025Very disappointing. I bought this a few months ago and the needle just snapped off! I’m always very careful with the stylus.

11-06-2025Bought a new Project Carbon TT and in a boneheaded accident broke the 2M Red stylus that came installed. So easy to replace. Great cartridge for rock, blues and to my ear jazz.

Greater than one weekUsed the red for awhile, night and day difference from stock cartridge. Upgraded to blue, even better but you need trained ears to hear a difference. If you have a stock cartridge thats lacking, the red will give you a huge imorovement
