Best in class

The Ortofon 2M Black holds its own among moving magnet cartridges in a price range where moving coil cartridges are already available. In that category, the Ortofon 2M Black is a rare, exceptional talent; its powerful performance, reminiscent of Ortofon's legendary SPU cartridges, is fascinatingly captivating. It rocks! It renders voices with volume and great passion. A Pavarotti never becomes a Pavarottini (even though that would presumably be an irresistibly tasty yet low-calorie pastry from Italy...).
