LP Gear Ortofon OM Replacement Carts

[hbucker]

I just noticed that LP Gear sells their own brand of aftermarket replacement carts for the Ortofon OM series.

Anyone have opinions or experience with these?

I think he's referring to the OM "B" series. B for bulk but when I read there pitch my thought was they were likely
the very same as the non B series. Even though they say almost as good I think its an agreement with Ortofon.

Could be overrun, off-grade, returns or any number of things that make Ortofon want to sell em for less to move them on. Probably fine in general, though.

They sell a Vivid Line stylus and the show it as as a replacement for OM 30. I am considering getting one.

Still would like to know who makes the VL, can only assume Nagaoka or maybe AT.

Yes. I'm sorry. Stylus replacement.

"Zualum cantilever"
Zualum can't be bad.
I think it powers the starship enterprise.......

sorry - not helpful....

I just saw a discussion on these, the consensus was overwhelmingly positive. Can't remember where I saw it but I will post if I find it. I think I am going to pick one up instead of the STY20 I have been considering.
