Ortofon Super OM 5E Elliptical Stylus Listening Cartridge

If your tonearm has a standard headshell or a cartridge mount, then step up to optimal sound reproduction with OM's. The Ortofon OM 5 series is the lowest-mass range of moving magnet cartridges offered by Ortofon. The cartridge body has been designed to provide easy mounting and alignment on both top mount and bottom mount headshells. Depending on your preference, styli for the OM 5 Series are easily interchanged and include: styli 3E, 5E, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 78 and D 25 M.

Super OM 5E features an Elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion.
