Worth every penny. Don't even hesitate!!

Fits great on my Denon DP-35f. The sound is very nice considering that I'm using an old Radio Shack phono pre-amp going directly through the input jacks on my computer. Recording and editing using Nero 8 Platinum software. I'm sure an upgrade to a different pre-amp would give this cartridge a chance to really breathe!! Tracking has been fantastic!!!Read full review

Not an "Upgrade" over Audio Technica AT95E

Bought for my Audio Technica LP120, thought it was going to be an "upgrade" from the stock AT95E cartridge, which sounds perfectly fine . The high mids and low highs are too loud, very tinny . And it's not the alignment or calibration or the settings. I switched back to the original Audio Technica cartridge and, sound is 100% better. It’s OK, but not that great as reviewed here and there.Read full review

smooth silky and warm sound,,, the reviews online are correct,, great sounding cartidge !! just buy it already!

after reviewing other cartridges in magazines and online and looking to replace/upgrade my old cartridges ( over 35 years old!), this one fit the bill perfectly, sounds great on my technics turntable and was reasonably priced. NOT a cheaply made or sounding cartridge! you do get what you pay for and worth the near $100 price. Read full review

Good product, sounds nice.

Brand quality is good. Sound quality is nice. I could hear a difference, although not as much as I expected. I guess my original stylus was better than I thought.

Ortofon 2M Red - Easy set up and high end sound on a tight budget! Doesn't get any better!

I said it all in the title. There isn't a better price out there at under $90 for this amazing cartridge. Get one! Easy to set up. No hassle. Sounds wonderfully, warm, and vibrant on everything!

Great Sound & Engineering

I replaced the Ortofon Red Stylus with a upgraded Blue one. The fact that it was easy to upgrade simply by popping off the Red stylus and putting on the Blue one. That's a testament to good engineering.Read full review

Great upgrade for any turntable

Great product, got it as an open box from World Wide Stereo and after break in, it sounded amazing. Remember to break in for at least 5 hours, 20 hours is ideal to get the full experience of how great this is.Read full review

This cartridge has great fidelity at a reasonable price.


I have purchased the 2M Red cartridge in the past and I'm very happy with its performance. I also needed an extra so I may be able to upgrade to the blue stylus in the future.

Good low cost cartridge

Decent low cost turntable cartridge. Comes complete with mounting screws, screwdriver and brush. Have just ordered an Ortofon Blue Stylus to upgrade my other turntables. Changing the stylus upgrades the Ortofon Red to an Ortofon Blue!Read full review

Should have bought one long ago.

Upgraded from an Ortofon 2M Blue and was amazed at the difference in presence and clarity with the Bronze picking up info on the records that was never noticed before. It was the biggest single improvement made to my system in years and worth every penny. Enjoying LPs like never before.Read full review
