I’m so glad I found this video. I was replacing my needle on the cartridge, and I thought I couldn’t do it myself since I didn’t have my own scale, but this helped a lot. Thank you so much :)
❤ Thanks for the great video I just upgreeted my OM5E to a brandy new 2M Red and the sound is absolutely wonderful!! I placed it on a red head Show On my SL 2500 professional direct drive turntable.
I bought the 2M Blue. Thanks for this. Can't wait to see how great the sound will improve. I already love the sound of my OM 5E since I added Acryl It to my setup.
I recently upgraded the cartridge that came with my Sony turntable to an Ortofon 2m Blue, the difference is truly amazing, I'm currently going through my record collection and the sound is a real eye-opener. I've seen comments about this cartridge lacking bass, all I can say is as far as I'm concerned there's plenty of bass as the guy says it's a very definite improvement in sound quality.
The upgrade from OM5E to 2M Red is somewhat controversial and the benefits may depend of the rest of the system. 2M Red has higher inductance and is more sensitive to capacitive loading. There are many opinions where people actually prefer OM series to 2M series. I guess that on lower end systems (not low quality systems by any means) the OM may sound smoother and more balanced.
Estoy pensando en sustituir la cápsula de mi debut 3 aún original y me gustaría mejorar el sonido. Así que gracias por compartir experiencia detallada y clara. Gracias y saludos desde espñ
Assuming your tone arm has a headshell then Why not pay the xtra for an all in one cartridge and headshell and be done with it? Changing is fast and so simple. Always smart to have two cartridges with headshells.
Hello, I have two questions 1. I have your product Ortofon 2m Blue. I recently bought only a new single tip. The question is, how many times can I replace the individual tip in the original head before the entire head needs to be replaced? Second question, can I insert a black 2m Black tip into the original head from the 2m Blue portable? Well thank you.
I have a question. I ordered the same stylus from Music direct. In their catalog it shows that it has that red triangular plastic piece, but when they ship it to me they only shipped the stylus . Are they assuming that I already have that red piece. My turntable doesn’t have the cartridge or the stylus it just has the arm. I feel like I’m missing a piece or something, does anyone know of a diagram of what it supposed to look like? Thank you in advance.
@r33mote - sorry, mate, just giving you a hard time🙂 I mean, I’m sure you realize this is Ortofon’s UA-cam channel and this video is about the specific cartridge upgrade I asked about. I simply find it a bit amusing you assumed I arrived here randomly/didn’t Google/would prefer to dig through forums as opposed to going directly to the source. I actually do appreciate your insight - it’s very helpful knowledge. Thank you. All good.
My new Fluance RT-82 turntable came with the Ortofon OM10, and thinking about switching it up to the Ortofon 2M Red. But I read that the 2M Red is essentially an upgraded OM10. Is it worth going to the 2M Red (cost?) is the difference between the two minor and to stick with my OM10? or is it worth the switch? (my vinyl collection goes back to the seventies, but I kept them surprisingly clean and scratch free.)
I came here for alignment instruction as well, but the rest of the video taught me so much that I don’t even mind searching elsewhere for the details. Nicely done!

Excellent video. Will upgrade my OM 5E. Thanks for detailed step by step instructions!

@@hqtunes3520 I should have mentioned it's a Sony PS 11
Excellent, clear video. Thank you.
Thank you for a very clear and easy to understand guide!

This info was absolutely awesome. Thank you

I changed OM5 MM to Quinted Blue MC on my Block PS 100+. It s a difference from day and night.
Where is the detailed video to set up the 2M Red that he mentions? I need to figure out how to do the alignment on my Kenwood KD-3070
Enjoyed your video and subscribed.

In my experience Ortofon has been good at answering my questions from the contact page if their website.
Cartridges don't wear out. You can use them for decades.

May not get a response but wondering if it can be installed on a linear tracking turntable
If your turntable doesn´t have colored wires you can paint them with nail painting!!! Just a point!!!
Is the 2M red comparable to the OM20 or 30? It would be helpful to know some of the key differences between the MM and OM lines. Thank you!
@r33mote - yeah, that was six months ago. I moved on but thanks for the Internet lesson. Google, huh?!

Is the fact that the diamond falls apart after two days without a refund worth considering?

Fitting an OM20 stylus to your existing OM would be more worth I guess.
Are we supposed to let the old cartridge fall down as well? 😂
So we skip the alignment step, huh? Lol. The whole reason I clicked this video. Otherwise very nice tutorial
Can’t believe it's not shown! 😕
He did say that it is on their website......

a teraz tá čo padla a možno zrovna na hrot už nemusí byť použiteľná.. zlé náradie a gramblavé ruky
