Ortofon 2M Blue
Ortofon 2M Blue
I mention the Ortofon 2M Blue as a really sensible “first step” cartridge upgrade because it’s accessible in price and delivers that lively, energetic Ortofon character. It’s also part of a clear upgrade path, which makes it easy to move up the range later if your setup supports it.
