Great start for my Project turntable but with the next grade: the Blue there is more detail

Very good cartridge with sweet and clean sound.
And the company itself is very proper in execution and fast shipping, combined with the good price.
I will definitely buy again.

Easy to install. Improved sound compared to the original cartridge, also an Ortofon, from the Pro-ject turntable. Depth and volume gain in amplitude. The cartridge gets the job done.
Pros: Very good cartridge. Deep and ample sound.
Cons: None.

I replaced my old cartridge (Stanton) with this one and I'm not disappointed at all. The sound has excellent distribution, much less noise than my previous one, and it's quite attractive. Excellent value for the price!
Pros: very musical.

The pros: this cartridge literally transcends my Project Debut III.

Mounted on a Technics SL1410 MK2 turntable. The first thing you notice is the high output level and very dynamic sound. The sound spectrum is quite wide in both the low and high frequencies, with good finesse in the treble and firm bass. Easy installation with the provided screws. Better listening experience compared to a Shure 2002 or Technics 205 C IIX, which I also own.
Pros: Dynamic, high output level.
Cons: Unprotected diamond stylus when not in use (no folding cover).

Very good cartridge, versatile, excellent value for money in a serious package, an ORTOFON must-have

Excellent cartridge at a very competitive price. Very satisfied. As with recent cartridges, it requires a rather recent tonearm, which is the case with my turntable - carbon tonearm - otherwise you'll need to adapt. That said, the sound of my vinyls becomes both detailed and deep, the flaws of slightly worn records disappear.
Pros: very good sound detail.
Cons: delicate to install. Dedicated to certain brands rather.

Mounted on an SL1200 MK5, with the tonearm weight set to 1.8g and a rather broad musical style (House, 80's, Rock, Gainsbourg...) Compared to my Shure M44-7, there's no comparison... but each has its own domain. Very little saturation in the highs, satisfactory channel separation, and mind-blowing detail reproduction. Very simple to mount on a Technics headshell. Break-in period is a bit long... A very satisfying cartridge for the price.
Pros: Overall sound clarity across the spectrum.
Cons: Reproduces everything, even the crackles.

This cartridge was mounted on a Lenco L78. This Ortofon cartridge reveals its full potential after a few hours of break-in, with a wide frequency response, good balance, and no hum (compared to a Grado Black). Excellent value for money.
Pros: value for money, frequency response.

Rich in the highs and lows, recommended for everyday use. Spectrum is well-represented.
Pros: Very good midrange... Surprising in this price range.
Cons: Drawbacks to be evaluated after break-in period.
