Original Ortofon 2M BLUE replacement stylus, nude elliptical diamond, compatible with 2M Red, detailed sound. Read more.
The Ortofon 2M BLUE replacement stylus is ideal for music lovers who want to enhance their turntable’s performance without investing in a completely new cartridge. It fits easily onto the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge and is also compatible with the 2M Red and 2M Silver models. Thanks to the nude elliptical diamond tip, it delivers a more detailed, open, and dynamic sound – a clear upgrade over more affordable options.
The key difference compared to the standard 2M Red stylus lies in the diamond’s construction. While the Red uses a bonded diamond, the Blue features a nude diamond, which is fully polished and lighter in weight. This improves tracking accuracy and allows the stylus to extract more detail from the groove, resulting in a livelier listening experience. With proper care, the stylus can last up to 1000 hours without noticeable loss in sound quality.
Installation is straightforward and requires no technical expertise. Please note: This stylus is not compatible with 2M Bronze or 2M Black cartridges.
