This Plug and Play version of the Ortofon 2M bronze cartridge offers the same exceptional sound quality as the standard model, but it is specifically designed for tonearms without a conventional headshell. It provides a practical and straightforward solution for turntables with SME-style arms, such as those produced by Technics, allowing for easy and efficient installation.

Upgraded Engine

The cartridge bodies of the 2M Bronze and 2M Black are crafted from a newly developed Noryl plastic and glass combination, a cutting-edge material that ensures high rigidity while effectively minimising unwanted resonances. Both models also feature an upgraded engine, incorporating split pole pins with silver-plated copper wire, which enhances their overall performance and sound quality.

Ortofon's 2M cartridges are meticulously designed to deliver precise and accurate retrieval of information from the record groove, staying true to the company’s philosophy of reproducing sound as faithfully as possible, without adding any tonal colouring. The diamonds on the 2M Bronze and 2M Black are expertly cut and polished to meet the highest industry standards, ensuring superior sound reproduction.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
