    Its very very good, musical and without any obvious hifi nasties.

    For the money it cant be beat.
    l put my 2M Redon my Gyrodec/SME V and was shocked how good it sounded, incredibly detailed- all my records sounded revitalised, very nice.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Just fitted the red and spent a hour setting it up all i can say is WOW what a differance surface noise is gone playing sonic highways by the Foo fighters and it sounds superb. I just wish I took the plunge and spent more on a tidy cartridge years ago I cant imagine how good a bronze or black would sound?
    I am going to play some of my older records later and see how they sound and post my findings.

    Congrat on your new Ortofon. I love Ortofon and have had several in just one year: Rondo Red MC, 2M Bronze and 2M Black. When it is time for you to change out the tip, you should opt for the 2M Blue. I reckon you know that the stylus can be upgraded between the Red and Blue and between the Bronze and Black. In all of Ortofons programe they use the color for gradeing their cartridges. 2M Red, Quintet Red and Cadenza Red, and the Blue is a significant upgrade from the Red-series.

    Enjoy your Red and your Technics
