In this video, Leif Johannsen, Ortofon’s Chief Officer Acoustics and Research, explains how to upgrade your turntable with a new cartridge. Replacing your existing cartridge with a new one can seem like a complicated process. Luckily, this is not the case! Leif Johanssen takes you through the process of both dismounting your current cartridge and mounting a new one while explaining the similarities and differences between the OM5E and 2M Red.
WHY SHOULD YOU UPGRADE YOUR CURRENT CARTRIDGE?
There are many reasons to replace your current cartridge: one of them may be that you want to improve your audio experience and upgrade to a better cartridge. Another often overlooked reason is that the stylus of your cartridge is worn out. After about 1000 hours of playbacks on your turntable, your stylus starts to wear out. Not only does this mean that the perceived sound will be significantly worse, but it also means that you risk destroying your precious records. But whether it’s because you want to take your vinyl and listening experience to the next level, or it’s because your current stylus has served its duty, this video will help you with how to replace your cartridge.
