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.

This is one sweet electrical generator that I wouldn't mind having at the end of my tone arm.

Thank you for the opportunity.  I would handle it with love should I be the lucky winner!

Oh good! A moving magnet cartridge. I could use that with my system, without any other upgrades being necessary. It would be fascinating to see how it compares to my AT125LC. Presumably it would have a noticeably nicer overall sound.

5 mV is kind of high output, but my son would love this.

georgegiurgea's picture

I am a OM20 Super happy owner and I love Ortofon sound but I would definitely be happier to win the best MM cartridge from Ortofon.

I am already excited to get the best VTA for my records and see how my direct to disc recording from Umbrella Label sounds.

Thanks Analog Planet for this opportunity.

George,

the analog guy
