Ortofon 2M Stylus

The Nude Fine Line diamond has a slimmer profile that allows it to track the grooves of your records with greater precision. This results in better high-frequency reproduction and reduced distortion, especially toward the inner grooves of a record.

The 2M Bronze uses a standard 1/2-inch mount, making it compatible with the vast majority of modern and vintage tonearms. As long as your tonearm accepts standard headshell-mounted cartridges, it should fit without issue.

No, this is a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge with a 5mV output, meaning it is designed to work with any standard MM phono input. It is compatible with most integrated amplifiers and external phono stages found in home audio setups.

The upgraded internal wiring improves signal conductivity and reduces resistance. This helps maintain signal integrity from the stylus to your preamp, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate sound profile.

The cartridge body is designed for straightforward mounting, featuring threaded holes that eliminate the need for nuts. While you will still need to perform a standard alignment using a protractor, the physical installation process is very user-friendly.

The recommended tracking force is 1.5 grams. It is important to set your tonearm's tracking force accurately to this specification to ensure optimal sound quality and to prevent unnecessary wear on your records.
