Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge
MM Cartridge
£95
With its smooth, evenly balanced sound, the Ortofon 2M Red makes the perfect cartridge upgrade.
A great first upgrade
If you're looking for a step-up in performance from your existing budget cartridge then the Ortofon 2M Red is hard to beat. Featuring Ortofon's unique split pole pins, the 2M Red gives an even and balanced response making the music sound as natural as possible. The highly polished, tipped elliptical diamond gives excellent tracking without causing excessive wear to your vinyl, and as it's supplied with a simple to use fitting kit, swapping it over is easy.
Upgrade the 2M way
The Ortofon 2M Red is a fine cartridge in its own right, but if you want to steadily improve your sound, the modular design makes it easy. As you’re ready to upgrade, simply unclip the stylus and swap to a 2M Blue or 2M Silver for an even more detailed sound.
Hear more music from the groove, with the Ortofon 2M Red.

New Stylus cartridge
Needed a new stylus cartridge for my 40 year old turntable. Useful advice in store and landed up buying recommended one rather than the one I had come in for. Very happy with the one I left with.

Bought to replace worn cartridge on AT LP3 - very clear, precise, but needs a system with some depth and warmth to it. Think it wouldn’t suit a thinner sounding system, but it works for me

Ortofon Red cartridge fitted by Richer Sounds
I ordered this at Richer Sounds in Bristol. When it arrived I brought in my record deck and they fitted the new cartridge free of charge, and set it all up for me. Great service from Richer Sounds

Great sound
Great sounding cartridge, and the really impressive thing was that it arrived less than 24 hours after I made the online purchase, very impressive

Great Service, Great Product
Asked for advice after needing to replace my old cartridge. Visit the shop spoke to one of the guys and he gave good advice, suggested alternative as my old cartridge was no longer made. So purchased the Ortofon 2M red and am really pleased with the sound. Have since bought Spector bookshelf speakers and overall very happy with the sound, tone and range. Thank you.

Excellent sound for the money
Bought this with a techics deck and very happy with the sound from it . A good all rounder and not surprised it is found on many decks.

Deffo improvement
Just fitted this and in first replay of SADE diamond life you can definitely hear the difference in sound quality and well worth the money.
Little fiddly to fit to my Denon DP300f, hardest part was getting the factory fitted cartridge off, but got there in pretty quick time.
Little word about Richer Sounds, as alway brilliant service ordered day one and arrived day two.
