Ortofon 2M Black Phono Cartridge from Music Direct Sweepstakes

Register to win an Ortofon 2M Black Phono Cartridge from Music Direct (MSRP $720.00) we are giving away.

From Music Direct:

Music Direct is happy to offer a brand-new Ortofon 2M Black for one lucky subscriber to Michael Fremer’s Analog Planet. The flagship of the 2M line, the Black is absolutely one of the finest Moving Magnet cartridges ever built. The 2M Black has Ortofon’ s best Shibata stylus, which is usually found on much more expensive cartridges.  It’s fast, dynamic, extremely well-detailed, yet supremely musical. A Music Direct best-seller, this $720 cartridge digs deep down into the grooves, playing parts of the groove no other stylus has ever reached. Good luck to all of you.

Super interested to see how this compares to my current cart if I do win, it should be a very very close comparison, based on the stylus type. Best of luck to everyone who enters!

I've got a 2M Blue and think it is a great cartridge for the money. I'd love to win a 2M Black as an upgrade of course.

mmarston's picture

Been using Ortofon MMs for years now, ever since Sonic Research went away.  Currently dubbing a closet full of LPs.  So of course I need this more than anyone else!!

Seriously, good luck to all.  If I could I'd buy one.  But just now I have a vacation to pay for...

Have 2M Bronze on an Ariston Icon II.  Have a Marantz/Clearaudio table with Clearaudio Vituoso.  If I win the Black I may have to buy another table for it to reside.  What a terrible thing.

A cartridge design inspired by Darth Vader's mask might sound a little on the dark side, but I'm sure I could learn to like it.

Is it bad that it never even occurred to me that this site had accounts? I visit just about every day, but oddly, I never thought to register. I just like Mikey's antics.
