Ortofon OM 20

These have sound on par with the higher end speakers I’ve heard at half the price. I cannot emphasise enough how happy I am with them, and they’re a extremely good entry point into the audio world.

Just back into vinyl after a 30 year absence. Bought a Pro-Ject Essential turntable supplied with an Ortofon OM10 which is a fine cartridge in itself. The OM20 is a simple and worthwhile upgrade providing a little more stereo separation, detail and midrange clarity. Bass a little cleaner. OM10 is pe...

Pass on the older RT80 and RT81 that lack the new speed sensor. Pass on the RT83 since the cartridge is not any better. Then when the OM10 stylus eventually wears out and it's time to replace it and if you have already upgraded to better than entry level speakers you could upgrade to the Ortofon OM20 stylus or the LP Gear OM20 stylus for less cost than Ortofon and both are around the same quality as the 2M Blue.

Well, it was time for a new stylus and I decided to make the jump from a 5E stylus to this 20. I think this thing ruined a couple of records for me, but not in the way that you might think. The 5E is a really great stylus, especially when you consider the price. It resolves very well across all freq...

A very pleasant and listenable cartridge, but can hum on a DD turntable. Cost - $99CDN (sale).

I was skeptical about spending this much on a small needle, how much could it improve the music? First spin of an album and my ears were satisfied, if I was blindfolded and did not know I would have thought it was a completely different turntable. I went from the om10 to the 20. The music is better ...

If you want an Ortofon cartridge with a nude elliptical stylus (which is what the Blue is), IMO choose the option with the OM5E cartridge and then just upgrade the stylus to the OM Stylus 20, which you can get for around $130 shipped, no tax, assuming you’re in the US. Buy it from there.

All the reviews about the sound are true. Here is my story, I have a old linear tracking turntable and I also have an almost 40 yrs old P-mount OM 10 cartilage. About 2 yrs back, I decided to get back to vinyl and put the OM to one of my second hand linear tracking turntables I acquired for 50 each....

I looked at the OM20 and OM30 but apparently those don't reduce distortions as much so I'm not considering Ortofon anymore. I came across with this:.

Well I was hoping to hear a "night and day" difference over my om10 stylus. Instead what I hear are subtle differences. Differences that make up a more musical and satisfying listening experience. The two cartridges that I have been using over the past several years are the super om10, and the Audio...
