The 2M Black is graced with a Shibata diamond stylus – the same diamond as on the acclaimed MC Jubilee. Its slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"When set-up, the Ortofon 2M Black was immediately engaging, sounding powerful and vivid,\" notes \u003ci\u003eHi-fi News Yearbook, 2011\u003c\/i\u003e. \"It was natural recordings of full orchestra that confirmed that the 2M Black is a stellar moving-magnet cartridge... The 2M Black delivers a holographic imagery worthy of the most sophisticated vinyl replay systems.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe cartridge body used for the 2M Black is manufactured from a newly-developed Lexan DMX Piano Black, a revolutionary material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe 2M Black uses a special upgraded engine with an increased output of 5 mV, featuring split pole pins with a silver plated copper wire. Split pole pins are an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a much higher-priced moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series. \u003c\/p\u003e   \r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eOrtofon's 2M Series\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe 2M Series is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. The 2M Series is developed in conjunction with the Danish Industrial designer Møller Jensen Design – the same designer who designed the award winning MC Jubilee and Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record's surface, the 2M's handsome elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe name 2M was selected from among several ideas. Ortofon wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember, and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eOf course the 2M isn't just another pretty face.

Over time and use, that diamond wears down. A worn stylus doesn’t just sound worse; it can damage your records, cutting into the groove walls and causing permanent harm to your vinyl collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grado Prestige Green4 Stylus is the \u003cstrong\u003eofficial replacement stylus\u003c\/strong\u003e for the Green4 cartridge — and all earlier Grado Prestige Green-series cartridges. It’s a genuine Grado part, made in Brooklyn, New York. When you replace the stylus, your cartridge performs like new without having to buy a whole new cartridge body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the Replacement Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the best things about Grado Prestige Series cartridges is the \u003cstrong\u003euser-replaceable stylus system\u003c\/strong\u003e. You don’t need tools, a technician, or a trip to a dealer. The stylus simply pulls off the front of the cartridge body and snaps back on. Most people can do it in under a minute. This is by design — Grado built the Prestige Series to be maintained at home, easily and affordably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Green4 stylus fits the following Grado cartridge body models:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4E-GREEN (Green4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4E-GREEN1PC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4E-GREEN1PM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrestige Series Styli Are Cross-Compatible\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s something worth knowing: \u003cstrong\u003eall Grado Prestige Series styli are interchangeable across cartridge bodies in the Prestige line\u003c\/strong\u003e. This means the Green4 stylus fits not just the Green4 body, but also the Red4, and other Prestige-series bodies. This cross-compatibility also opens an upgrade path — you can fit a higher-level Prestige stylus onto your existing cartridge body to step up your performance without replacing the whole unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You’re Getting — Bonded Elliptical Diamond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Green4 stylus uses a \u003cstrong\u003ebonded elliptical diamond\u003c\/strong\u003e mounted on an aluminum cantilever. An elliptical diamond shape makes better contact with the groove walls than a basic spherical tip. This means it tracks more accurately, retrieves more musical detail, and is gentler on your records at the same tracking force. “Bonded” means the diamond is fixed to the cantilever tip with an adhesive bond — a reliable, cost-effective construction used throughout the Prestige Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen Should You Replace Your Stylus?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a general rule, a stylus lasts around 500–1,000 hours of play time under normal conditions. But audible wear can happen gradually, making it hard to notice without a reference point. Signs it’s time to replace include: a harsh or distorted high end, loss of stereo separation, the stylus skipping on clean records, or simply knowing you’ve put significant hours on your current stylus. When in doubt, a fresh stylus is almost always an improvement — and far cheaper than replacing records damaged by a worn tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade in Brooklyn, by Grado\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrado Labs has made phono cartridges and styli in Brooklyn, New York since 1953.
