Ortofon 2M Black Plug and Play MK II MM Cartridge
Tax included. Stock information
Ease of Use
This Plug and Play version delivers the same excellent sound quality as the standard 2M black but is tailored for tonearms without a traditional headshell, offering a practical and straightforward installation for turntables with an SME style arm, such as Technics.
As the top performer of the range, the Ortofon 2M Black Premounted features a precision-machined nude Shibata diamond stylus, mounted to an upgraded engine comprising of split pole magnets and an intricate silver-plated copper coil system. With its ultra-thin and highly polished profile, this stylus can trace the groove over a larger contact area, ultimately maximising its ability to retrieve accurate information and presenting deeper insight into each record.
By mounting the diamond stylus directly to the cantilever, the 2M Black reduces stylus mass, thus enabling quicker and more precise movement through the groove as well as offering you a unique opportunity to hear your collection as if the artist were in the room. This flagship cartridge distinguishes itself from the rest of the range with its wholly engaging and responsive audio output. With the ability to quickly and easily swap out the stylus module, you'll be able to enjoy this cartridge for a long time to come.

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.
