The secret to the outstanding performance of the Ortofon 2M Black moving-magnet phono cartridge isn't one that's well-kept, nor should it be. It happens to be a Shibata stylus, a type usually not found on cartridges any where near this price. Those tricky, hard to reach highs in recordings? 2M Black goes there, and showcases remarkable presence thanks to the superb contact it achieves with an LP's groove walls. Further endowed with an upgraded generator and proprietary body material, 2M Black is also exceedingly fast, detailed, and supremely musical. Its value is supported by across-the-board acclaim from industry experts and analog lovers alike.
