Review: Nice upgrade - Fluance turntable with om10 cartridge sounded good but decided to upgrade thought about the blue but since most of my records are from the 70s and 80s heard it might not be good for older records plus might be a bit bright I prefer a softer sound using kliptsch rp600m2s can be bright glad I went with red forgiving sounds great with most of my older records little bright with some newer pressing but a little TWEAK on treble solved that volume much better listening at 12 instead of 1 great detail nice overall sound WORTH the price love it buy it think you'll be happy

I love this cartridge The sound and clarity that comes from this cartidge is like listening to albums for the first time. They play like they came off the sound board.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade for vintage turntable
*by P***R on December 24, 2025*

I installed this cartridge on my 50 year old vintage technics sl-1950 turntable. This is not a fancy turntable by all means - direct drive. But it sounds fantastic with the Ortofon cartridge! I listen to a lot of jazz. Oscar Peterson sounds great and so does NHOP. Would highly recommand..
