Ortofon 2M Red and Denon 110 Is there a big difference in sound quality??
I currently own a U-Turn Basic TT with an Ortofon 2M RED. I am considering changing to a Denon 110 high output moving coil. I have checked with the U-Turn customer service which claims the Denon 110 would be a very good match. I use a Moon 110LP with a CJ PV-14SE line stage
The Ortofon sounds good and better than expected. I had a 2M Blue a few years ago on a Rega P3-24 table and did not like it because the cartridge picked up too much surface noise which the RED does not. . Even though,,I have a modest LP collection, I think I am missing several things with the Ortofon, like better sound staging and separation of instruments.
@mofimadness not sure what’s the problem if i have them for sale, does it makes the rare cartridge bad if they are for sale? I do sell my own AT-ML170 just because i have AT-ML180 (next model). This is expensive hobby, you know. But it’s wonderful cartridge and it’s not just my opinion. If you don’t believe to a fellow audiogonners you’re free to ignore it, i’m not a pro seller or a dealer after all, i paid my dues to find them. There are a lot of information to read and high quality pictures to watch on my links just for information purpose. On the other hand we can judge the cartridge performance level only if we had multiply samples. I know what i’m talking about because i’ve had 3 samples of AT-ML170 before i bought more expensive AT-ML180. The first cart in this series that impressed me was the AT-ML150 |
@chakster ...I was an Audio Technica dealer for many years and currently own quite a few AT carts, including all that you mention above and more. So, I’m pretty familiar with the sound and performance. I agree, they are indeed very good. My point was that it looked like, (or read like, to me) that you were talking up these carts because you have them for sale. The forum is not a place for selling personal items, it's actually against forum rules. Sorry for the discourse... |
