Ortofon Replacement Stylus OM 5e

entry level cart that sucks!!!!!!!!!!!! be better off with the audio technica 3600 than this !!!

I just got this stylus and have only played one record with it, but I think its going to work for what I need it to do, and that is mellow-out a pair of older bookshelf speakers (EPI Series 3 Model 70) that tend to favor the high-end. I bought the 5e on the recommendation that it enhances the bass and lower ends a little more than the OM10 that came stock on my Pro-Ject Essential III turntable. Theres no knock against the OM10 as it performs beautifully still on my OTHER Essential III (yes, I have two). Was really looking for an affordable stylus to switch to without having to go through the cartridge replacement routine (I chickened out). I think with a little wear-in time Im going to hear beautiful results.

Wow, what a difference a new stylus makes.

Had been using a OM 30 stylist, but it was showing west. After plenty of research and reading many reviews on Amazon, I decided this time to purchase the OM 5E. Exactly what I needed for my continued listening to vintage vinyl.

What a difference a new needle makes! I bought a used turntable and was lucky enough that this is what they had on it. So I dont mind spending the money on the 5E replacements. Sounds amazing!

Great replacement no issues removing and replacing.

Its a whole lot easier to slide in a new stylus instead of remounting a new cartridge.

Works great. Easy to install

This is an exact replacement for our old stylus. Good price for a quality product.

Ruined the stylus in our move and wanted the same one again. Good overall performance and installed in just moments....let the spinning begin again!
