Ortofon OM Pro S DJ Cartridge

All i can say is what the ? ,THIS THING IS AMAZING , currently own about $11,000 in audiophile equipment ,never bought a DJ cart before im not a DJ and never will be, I bought it for all the hype I was hearing and it was dirt cheap figured I would just end up giving it to my kid, well no way is it going to my kid LOL ,this thing is extremely impressive, the sound quality is amazing this thing has great lows and amazing top end ,mids are impressive as well , you wait in the next few years this thing will go up drastically in price that is my prediction. Again I do not use this for DJing I am only an audio file listener, this gives you everything you want in an amazing listening experience. If you're looking for anything in a sub $400 cart this is the one for you. This card has an audiophile quality like no other cart has and its price range ,I would say the next tier up would be a $400 cart by Goldring which is also a very impressive cartridge company.,this cart sounds amazing with the pioneer pc-HS01 that i purchased also from amazon ,due to its very good reviews as well ,amazing set up ,thanks guys for the amazing products .

Ok so I just got into DJing with turntables. I've been using a DDJ-SX2 DJ controller before that. I was gifted two Gemini PT 2000 mk2 turntables, which are basically just Technics 1200 clones. Anyway, when I first got them, they had some raggedy needles on them so I swapped them with two new Numark CC-1 cart/stylus combos I bought on here. Well when trying to scratch on the turntables, the needles skipped like crazy. Sometimes it would be better than others, but I feel confident in saying that the CC-1 skips, no matter how tightly you calibrate it. I looked online for "best DJ carts for scratching" and saw this as one of the middle of the road choices. I decided to buy one to test it out and I can safely say, they are great for scratching. I'm able to scratch my 7inch scratch vinyl as well as my 7inch control vinyl without the needles skipping. It may skip if I'm overly vigorous and shake the turntable/tonearm too much, but when I'm using proper technique, it stays rock solid. Even dropping the sound and pulling back on the vinyl it stays in the groove. This is a great cart/stylus combo and I can't believe how cheap it is. It's $20 cheaper than the Numark CC-1 and works better than that one. If you're looking for a new cart, and don't want to drop almost $300 on a Shure M447, then this is a safe bet. It sounds great and performs like a champ. 5 stars all around.

I was looking for an inexpensive Needle to replace the SHURE SC35's I've been using. Ortofon has a good name inside the DJ community so I decided to try these Out. I like my SHURE's because I've been using them since day one, But I'm happy with the tracking, the sound quality and the fact that it can stand the abuse of scratching. Also the fact that you can still get replacement stylus(s) if needed. I know you can get knock-off SHURE stylus, but they're not the same as the original. Ortofon has a Good Needle here.

This is one of those dreamy needles. It weighs like 4 grams, it's gonna hold that groove. Sounds great. This is a bang for your buck situation, a glad you made the decision situation.

Had the stanton 680EL a classic cartridge but they are old and outdated. As a DJ I took the leap and bought two one for each turntable and they sound fantastic for the price. Definitely need to use the weight that it comes with or balancing might be a problem.

For the price, i don't think anyone can go wrong with this. As usual, Ortofon puts the quality ahead more than anything else. I also like the idea that there are many styli models to choose from for future upgrades.

This is a great cartridge for someone who's just getting into vinyl and once good all around sound. They are durable and do the job. As you learn more about the craft, you can get more expensive ones, but for now these are great

For what I paid, and why I bought it... it’s fine. I need it to throw onto one of two turntables I plan on selling off (the cart just completes a package, so next guy can play right away). When i first played it (on my tech 12), it sounded clear, crisp, no humming noise... “kinda” hi-fi, audiophile. But, next to my other deck with a Shure m44-7, it’s much lower output, way less bassy. I had to turn up the gain and level (on mixer) and turn the treble way down and well as the mids. Again, for what I paid... I’m using it to listen to smelly records and I will have it on the deck I sell... so, mission accomplished... but, this is more for entry level guys... I have another Ortofon arriving soon, will see how a more expensive model sounds...

スクラッチするタイプの人にはイイのかもしれません、またレコード確認を沢山しなければいけない人とか、芸術鑑賞用には向いていません、「プロ仕様的品質」です。

My cartridge was at least 30 years old, this has revitilzed my turntable. Sounds great now.

Muy buena
