Hear Absorbing Detail, Speed, and Clarity: Ortofon 2MR Black MM Phono Cartridge Features Shibata Stylus and Profile Made for Rega Tonearms and Turntables Have a Rega turntable or tonearm? Then this one's for you.

Built with a specially designed narrow cartridge housing tailored for Rega turntables and tonearms that require low form-factor cartridges, Ortofon 2MR Black MM seamlessly integrates with Rega platforms without any need for modifications or spacers under the tonearm.

Best of all, it retains every performance and material characteristic of the original, highly acclaimed 2M Black. The secret to the outstanding performance of 2MR Black isn't one that's well-kept, nor should it be. It happens to be a Shibata stylus, a type usually not found on cartridges anywhere near this price.

Those tricky, hard to reach highs in recordings? 2MR Black goes there, and showcases remarkable presence thanks to the superb contact it achieves with an LP's groove walls. 2MR Black is also exceedingly fast, detailed, and supremely musical.

Ortofon's trademark quad-coils motor system and split pole pins enable flat frequency response, just like that of a moving-coil cartridge. Plus, 2MR Black is compatible with Ortofon 2M replacement styli and mounts easily and quickly, via two screws. "This is one of the best moving magnet cartridges I’ve heard.

The proverbial Jack of all trades cliché comes immediately to mind. Sure some carts can do certain things better, but Ortofon has developed a cartridge with a deep and sturdy foundation to build on." —Graig Neville, Part-Time Audiophile
