Review on πŸ”Š OM Pro S Cartridge Preinstalled on Headshell by Ortofon by Phil Casey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

WOW! What noise. Do DJs know it's not just for scratching?

I'm shocked. I've seen people talking about this little club cartridge and needle combo on some vinyl sites. Although used for scratching, this is a great setup for home listening. I paid a few hundred for the Sure, and I have to say that for only about $30, it's much, much better. Warm rich tones are unsurpassed. The sound is so clear I could take original albums like Abbey Road or Exile On Main Street and play them and still hear the singer breathe before he sings. The orchestra sounds fascinating with this thing. take action. Just spend a few bucks on this thing. You will not be dissatisfied with this purchase. Even if you use it as a used game for casual gaming, I think you'll enjoy it. As far as tuning goes, the included downforce specs say it should be tuned to 4.0. I would not recommend that. It can really ruin your stuff. I adjusted mine from 1.5 to 1.8 and it works fine. There was no need to aim the cartridge. It comes pre-installed and I have to say that it didn't require any configuration after installation. Good sound. Good bass and clean. I love this thing!

Pros
  • For direct and easy mounting on S-arms
Cons
  • Fits
