ORTOFON 2M-BLUE

"The 2M Blue from Ortofon is a high quality HiFi Cartridge that delivers cristal clear, non coloured sound that is difficult to beat!The 2M is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Ortofon's philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible, without coloring the sound. The name 2M was selected among several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and to remember, and therefore an alpha numerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.
