Ortofon 2m and Osawa Headshell

[Dubster68]

Due to my never ending collection of stuff time for a clear out.

Here we have a Ortofon 2 m blue cart and stylus with stylus guard. The stylus has had around 20hrs use if that. This was bought and used briefly before funds allowed me to upgrade. Very good condition and excellent sound for the price. The only minor is a very small mark on the sides. I think this is a common problem with Ortofon carts when tightening the bolts. It does not cause any issues at all in use but just been honest though its hard to notice. As part of the deal it is bolted to my Osawa magnesium headshell that is very nice and light. This is fitted with Oyaide cartridge cables that are new.

Will come safely packaged and include next day Special Insured Delivery.

£115

I really like the Blue when I had one, really good with Rock music even I tried it.

Good luck with sale.

[Dubster68]

Yeah I thought the Blue is a good all rounder and a bargain for how its sounds.

The Blue does need some care in set-up I'm informed from a couple of pals who've owned them, but that's the kind of thing that peeps here would delight in I reckon :) I loved the previous OM30 and 530 models and don't think the 'Blue is hugely different 'inside' and behind the casework.

Great price. Hope it sells quickly for you :)

:DThanks Dave

Not wanting to make loads of money. Just want to put a little bit back in the pot after buying an Ortofon Black to replace it a Jelco arm and external power supply this week alone:eek:

Someone should get a good cheap upgrade out of it

[Dubster68]

Can split if anyone is interested.

Interested in the cart only, how much for it? Is it cracked where the bolts are?

Any offers considered for both or individual item.

As above is that a crack in the cartridge body under the bolt ?

It is just down the side of the cartridge body. I think this happened when I mounted it on a thinner headshell(Bolts went Deeper):doh:. Now it has shorter bolts its ok and does not make the crack open or anything. It looks more like a scratch and in no way causes any issues during use. Common problem apparently. Any issues after purchase just mail it back

If you zoom in on this it shows the line near the bolt holes both sides are the same. Looks worse than it is close up.

If anyone wants this I am willing to sell the cart and stylus with out the head shell for £70 plus postage. This works out cheaper than just a replacement Blue Stylus(Currently £130 without cart) if that helps anyone who may have a Red as this is a cheap upgrade.
