Ortofon’s 2M 78 mono phono cartridge is the cartridge of choice for playback of 78 rpm shellac records.This special version of the 2M 78 uses a low-profile design for convenient use with Rega turntables.The 2M 78 uses a spherical diamond that is perfect for playback of 78 rpm shellac records, which require a larger stylus profile, and the improved engine provides a high level of sonic accuracy. The ‘strapped output’ deliver sthe same output signal from both sets of pole pins. This effectively eliminates the need for mono-specific equipment, making it possible to enjoy true mono reproduction on any stereo playback system."Sensational schellac!" raves Tony Bolton in his Hi-Fi World review, praising the 2M 78 for its “detailed sound," "low surface noise," "fast and punchy rhythms," and "excellent tracking at the recommended 1.8 g."
