For the Blue Hour

Thanks to its nude diamond, the Ortofon 2M Blue plays more dynamically and with more detail than an Ortofon 2M Red. Compared to a bonded diamond, a nude diamond has less moving mass. Due to the lower mass inertia, the stylus can follow the groove modulation more easily. The 2M Red can be upgraded to an Ortofon 2M Blue by installing the Ortofon Stylus 2M Blue.
