Review: Ortofon 2M Blue: An instant upgrade for my listening experience! - What a difference this stylus made to the sound of my albums! I have a Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB-BK turntable that came with green AT-VMN95E stylus. Sounded pretty good, but in the couple of years I have had it, I just found something a bit lacking. I didn't feel like I was getting as much detail as expected and it made listening to vinyl more of a physical, ritualistic experience than a sonically satisfying one. So, I read up on the Ortofon red and blue and settled on the blue as it seemed like the clear upgrade I may have been looking for. And, I am happy to say it was. Very easy to install the head shell and I weighted the tracking force to 1.8 as recommended and go to listening. It was an instant difference. The clarity and detail in playback was satisfying and made me happy with my purchase even before getting through side one of Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty". I am not an "audiophile", but I am an audio enthusiast that enjoys getting the most out of my music listening. So, if you are looking for an upgrade in your sound, do some research on the Ortofon 2M blue and pit it against your current stylus/cartridge/head shell. 5 star recommendation from me!
Review: Highly recommended for the true audiophile - I went from the Red stylus directly to the Bronze cartridge because I previously went from the stock 10 stylus to the 30 and I heard no improvement in sound. This by far is the best that I have personally heard vinyl records sound. I wasn’t a big fan but my son bought me the turntable as a Christmas gift a few years back. Keep in mind the only reason for the upgrade is because I keep accidentally breaking the stylus needles while cleaning the player . The sound quality is absolutely amazing compared to what I’ve been hearing. Set up was easy and there is also an included tool to help you with the tracking settings . The included head looks great and feels like better quality than the original. I can’t believe how much the sound has improved. Highly recommended upgrade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shockingly good for the price
*by H***Y on April 30, 2025*

I bought this as an emergency measure to replace a Charisma MC-2 cartridge that was ruined when it struck my turntable platter while I was adjusting the tracking force. For a cheap cartridge, this is seriously impressive and sounds almost as good as the Charisma, which was ten times the combined cost of this cartridge and headshell combined. The premounted unit screws right onto my tonearm's headshell mount, no tools or alignment required. The headshell is very light so I had to tape a penny to the top of it to get sufficient tracking force, but if you have a lighter-weight tonearm (the sort you would expect to mount a $100 cartridge) this probably won't be a problem. The sound quality isn't quite top tier (pretty close though!), but it is way better than cartridges at this price point used to sound, and it is very forgiving, with far less surface noise on worn records than the Charisma. There is virtually no coloration or "EQ" of the sound, it does not give you a "warm" version or a "bright" version of the music, but exactly the timbres you would hear on a well-mastered CD. I have not attempted it, but stylus replacement is supposed to be extremely quick and easy, with the ability to swap in the stylus from the next model up in the range, giving you effectively a $50 discount on a future Ortofon Blue purchase. The futuristic plastic casing looks a bit cheap for those of us who like old fashioned rectilinear styling, but it's a fine cartridge and a screaming value.
