Passion in Red

The Ortofon 2M Red is a cartridge for all musical genres. It delivers great sound on any entry-level turntable. The standards for this can certainly be a bit higher. The Ortofon 2M Blue offers even more dynamics and detail in playback. An upgrade to the higher-quality, nude diamond of the Ortofon 2M Blue is possible by mounting the Ortofon Stylus 2M Blue replacement stylus.
