Dusted the Techie off and have been spinning some tunes on the old girl and really it- with the Stanton 500 sometimes nothing else will do!:)

Got some Sumiko headshells laying around a Denon DL103 is going on one.:eek:


On the other Sumiko headshell l am planning to put an Ortofon 2M Red/ 2M Blue- is this a musical combination and winning combo thanks in advance chaps.

The 2M blue is MUCH better than the red, it sounds great on the standard arm:)

He's already bought the red......think the same body as the blue though so could be upgraded.

2M Black.

I agree. But as OP has bought the Red not much we can add. I also agree with Freefallrob, the blue is much better than the red by a country mile.

Never heard the red but had the blue. The blue was the reason why I decided I had to have a black and I mean that in the positive sense.

Thought about getting the blue,but am trying the Red to see how l get along with Ortofons in general as a starter.:)

Thanks for the inputs chaps.:cool:

I used the Blue with the Sumiko head shell as its a bit heavier than the techy one and it sounded more authoritive IMO
