ORTOFON - 2M BLACK MM PHONO CARTRIDGE

New From Ortofon - The 2M Series Phono Cartridges

The flagship 2M Black utilizes a Shibata stylus (usually not found on cartridges under $1,000!). With a heavily upgraded generator and a proprietary body material, the Black is exceedingly fast, detailed and supremely musical. An excellent value and given our highest recommendation!
