Ortofon Stylus 2M black LVB 250

The 2M Black LVB 250 improves upon the great construction of the 2M Black with a boron cantilever and its own Nano Tube suspension system. The result is sound so precise and detailed that you feel like you’ve let the artist into your home to play directly in your living room.

The new rubber formula

To achieve optimal interaction between flexibility and damping, a new rubber compound for the suspension system has been developed.

The new rubber compound formula is based on the highly effective nano-loading of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The new MWCNT-based compound offers desirable mechanical properties, which ensure better damping and improve the overall performance of the cartridge.

In addition, the new MWCNT rubber compound enables more environmentally friendly production, adding an extra benefit. The MWCNT powder is applied in a rubber polymer matrix and not in powder form, which makes the production process cleaner, non-polluting and energy-efficient.

Benefits of premium materials

The 2M Black LVB 250 uses a Nude Shibata diamond on a Boron cantilever, the combination known from the famous MC Cadenza Black cartridge. The slim, highly polished profile of the Nude Shibata stylus allows for an extremely wide contact area with the groove walls. It ensures particularly detailed reproduction across the entire spectrum, including even the highest frequencies.
