Ortofon 2M BLACK LVB 250 MM Cartridge

The Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250 is a remarkable cartridge designed for music lovers who want to get the very best from their vinyl collection. Released in honor of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday, it builds on the renowned 2M Black model with several significant upgrades. The combination of a Nude Shibata diamond stylus and a lightweight, rigid boron cantilever delivers incredibly detailed and transparent sound, making it feel as if the artist is performing live in your room.
