Review on 🎧 Enhance Your Audio Experience with the Ortofon Super OM 10 Moving Magnet Cartridge by Carnell Bollwitt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best of DJ Equipment

I was concerned after I completed the setup, arm balance and downforce adjustment because there was a lot of sibilance and distortion. I heard Rubinstein in Chopin's piece (calm classical piano) so the music was very "clean". The annoying noises died down on the second side and on the next album (Elvin Jones, Dear John S. - Jazz) the bass was as expected and the highs were warmer. I won't include Led Zeppelin yet because of several pages. Once you've got it set up correctly, give it a few albums to try, maybe starting with quieter music. Now it sounds nice - warm and precise. There's an energy in Mr. Jones' writing and gentle tapping on the records that I haven't noticed in a long time. I hear ghostly sounds in his drumming that I hadn't noticed before. I also hear Richard Davies' double bass fingering more than before.

Pros
  • Musical Instruments
Cons
  • Everything is OK
