CONTACT US FOR AVAILABILITY
The Stereophile Class C Recommended Ortofon 2M Blue uses the same structures as its award-winning sibling 2M Red, but adds an upgrade in the form of a highly polished nude-elliptical stylus for better tracking and quieter reproduction. In addition to enhanced resolution and openness, it reaches deeper into your records' grooves. Balanced, controlled, and smooth, 2M Blue remains one of the biggest analog values on the planet.
