Description from the seller

Up for auction: a prestigious moving-magnet cartridge (MM) Ortofon 2MR Black, the flagship model of the famous 2M series, complete with its original case.

The 2MR version features a low-profile headshell body, specifically designed to integrate perfectly with Rega turntable arms (and other similar manufacturers’ arms) without the need for spacers or VTA modifications.

Main Features

Stylus: Nude Shibata (the same profile used in high-end MC cartridges).

Conditions: excellent

Operating hours: About 150–200 hours (the stylus has an estimated useful life of over 1,000 hours, so it’s barely broken in).

Sound: Extremely detailed, analytical, and dynamic, with superb tracking capability.

The cartridge is supplied complete with its original case and original accessories. It has been used with the utmost care in a smoke-free environment.

Output voltage at 1 kHz, 5 cm/s: 5 mV
Tracking capability at 315 Hz at the recommended tracking force: 80 μm
Compliance, dynamic, lateral: 20 μm/mN
Type of stylus: naked Shibata on aluminum cantilever
Tracking force, recommended: 1.5 g
Winding wire material: Silver OFC
Weight of the 2MR cartridge: 6 grams
Recommended load resistance: 47 kΩ
Recommended load capacitance: 150–300 pF
Replacement nibs: Stilo 2M Red, Stilo 2M Bronze, Stilo 2M Bronze, Stilo 2M Black
