There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only complaint is the cart does ride pretty close to the vinyl. But otherwise, this is my go to recommendation for beginners/non-pros
The difference is in the cantilever flexibility/stiffness. This is a great value for the money.

コレはDJ系ですからって。
で…リスクを感じながらも購入しました。
シェルはオルトフォンのsh-4、リードワイヤーはオルトフォンのLW-3C。
普通に試聴したのはU2のヨシュアツリー。
音は素晴らしいまではいかないが満足です。
駄目なのはOMシリーズかな…でもコレはDJ用とうたうのは理解できますから。
オーディオテクニカの針の方が酷い…昔のVM針はよかった。で昔のオルトフォンのMMはたいした事なくてね。コンコルドの流れはオーディオ用には向いてないかも。OMシリーズのSuper 5Eはまぁまぁです。それでもやはりオメガが安くて良かった。
こわごわでもコレはOMシリーズとは違いVNLはちゃんと音楽を聴かせますね。
その後2M REDを購入しました。
もちろん力差ははっきりしてますが…そんなに負けてないです。
今のアナログブームってアナログ耳が出来てない人相手のエグい商売だと本当に思いますね。
買って良かったMM針
・オルトフォン 2M RED
・オルトフォン オメガ
・rega carbon MM
・オーディオテクニカVM95E
・オルトフォン VNL(3つ入り)
でかすね。
MM針はシェルでかなり変わってくるのでここ辺りが肝かなと思う。
私の世代にとっては、オルトフォンといえばMCのイメージがありました。
このカートリッジ、みかけは安っぽいですが、実力はなかなかだと感じました。
高域端に、まるで周波数特性がCDよりさらに伸びているかのようにすら錯覚させる、絹ごしの倍音成分のようなものを感じさせてくれるのがすごいと思います。
M44Gよりは低域の広がりもいいし、高音の繊細さも勝る。
何よりもいいのは3種類のコンプライアンスの異なる交換針がついていること。
Ⅰは柔らかくていわゆるトラッカビリティが高い、音は柔らかい。Ⅱ、Ⅲ、と逆に硬くなっていくということです。
私はⅢが少し音がうるさい感じに聞こえるぐらいで、微妙な差に思えました。
交換針2個付きでこの性能なら、、、買いでしょう。
