A key component in any turntable setup is the cartridge and stylus. Ortofon cartridges are known for their ability to precisely read groove data on vinyl records and convert it into a high-quality analogue signal. This Ortofon 2MR cartridges exemplifies Ortofon's expertise in professional audio equipment, offering premium sound output through its sophisticated design and advanced technical specifications.

The "R"  

The 2MR ("R" for “Reduced”) boasts all the same features as the standard 2M range, but makes use of a cartridge body with reduced ride height. The result of this reduction is improved compatibility with popular tonearms and turntables that require a lower-profile cartridge, like Rega. 

Blue

The Ortofon 2MR Blue Moving Magnet Cartridge is designed for exceptional sound quality and precision. It features a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus, which delivers detailed and accurate sound while minimizing groove wear. The cartridge's advanced engine provides a 5.5mV output for a dynamic response and improved sound clarity.

The Ortofon 2MR Blue excels in accuracy and distortion reduction. Its split pole pin technology, inspired by moving coil cartridges, ensures a flat frequency response. With an optimal tracking force range of 1.6g, it reduces noise and prevents excessive wear on vinyl records.

Upgradability

The 2MR Blue provides a cost-effective and flexible upgrade path, ensuring you have access to the best sound quality without bearing the burden of changing your entire setup. The interchangeable stylus option further reinforces its future-proofing capabilities.

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.
