🎶 Ortofon OM 5e Moving Magnet Cartridge: Enhanced Performance and Precision Review

Doesn't quite fit the Rotel head but I was able to play around with it a bit and get it to work. The sound is much better than the original MM.

Has decent gain but doesn't play very well on old, commonly used vinyl records. All the pops, clicks and defects are very loud even on freshly cleaned records. It lacks the warmth you need from vinyl. I ended up going back to the cheaper Audio Technica cartridge because it sounds better on most of my records. More expensive doesn't actually mean better.

Amazing cartridge for a 40 year old record player. It was stored for 22 years and my fiancee unpacked it. It needed a new cartridge and after visiting the company website it was recommended as a direct replacement for my Sansui turntable. It was installed, balanced and ready to go within an hour. We played Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and the quality almost brought me to tears. A 40 year old turntable with a new cartridge sounded amazing. Good quality, great product. Thanks very much!
