Sorry if this is treading a well worn path, but here's my issue: I picked up a turntable at thrift that ended up having wiring issues, but it came equipped with an Ortofon 2m Red which sounds just fine to my ears on another table.

    Pioneer PL-250 and Ortofon 2m blue?

    Greetings all, I won a PL-250 as part of an auction. After some TLC it works beautifully and sounds great with a OM10. I may begin using it and putting my DP300f on the bench. I'm wondering if the PL-250 plays nice with the 2m blue? I also have a AT91E that I think came with the Denon...

    Magic Eraser - How often do you use it on your records?

    I've been using it every time after playing a record. Im thinking that's excessive. How often do u guys use it? I lower my cue onto it two or three times. I want my ortofon 2m blue to last cause they're not exactly cheap.

    Pioneer PL-117d needle drops too hard

    Hi all... this is dumb, but I can’t figure it out. I have a 1976 Pioneer PL-117d that I’ve been messing with for quite some time now. I’ve got all the automatic functions working as far as start/stop/replay... but the problem I have is that when the needle drops, it comes down way too hard...

    Hi guys. Quick question. I've got a Thorens TD125 MKii is very very good condition. Using the original arm, it's running an Ortofon 2M blue. When I had it serviced, my technician installed female RCS plugs inside, so the RCA cable from the table to the phono preamp can be changed as...

    I recently bought a second hand Music Hall mmf 5.1 in mint condition apart from the fact that the stylus on the cartridge was broken.

    My Ortofon 2M Blue to 2M Black review

    About 4 or 5 years ago I purchased an Ortofon 2M blue cartridge for my Technics SP25 turntable with Audio Technica AT12P tonearm combination. It served me well for every listening session I had. It had few limitations and I felt it was a very good combination for that arm / turntable...
