Ortofon 2M Black Phono Cartridge from Music Direct Sweepstakes
From Music Direct:
Music Direct is happy to offer a brand-new Ortofon 2M Black for one lucky subscriber to Michael Fremer’s Analog Planet. The flagship of the 2M line, the Black is absolutely one of the finest Moving Magnet cartridges ever built. The 2M Black has Ortofon’ s best Shibata stylus, which is usually found on much more expensive cartridges. It’s fast, dynamic, extremely well-detailed, yet supremely musical. A Music Direct best-seller, this $720 cartridge digs deep down into the grooves, playing parts of the groove no other stylus has ever reached. Good luck to all of you.

Good luck to me
I not only want it I deserve please give it to me.
Vinyl rules!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE i would love to hear this cart!!!!!
Super interested to see how this compares to my current cart if I do win, it should be a very very close comparison, based on the stylus type. Best of luck to everyone who enters!
Nice sweepstakes.
round and round it goes
I've been reading this site for months and this is the one that has finally got me to join! This would be a great upgrade to my Pro-Ject Carbon Debut
Round and round and round it goes
This would be a great upgrade for my old cart. Me win please.
spurs may have lost tonight....but the vinyl ride lives on!
Making it official for the competition.
Great site by the way - just awesome!
I've got a 2M Blue and think it is a great cartridge for the money. I'd love to win a 2M Black as an upgrade of course.
Been using Ortofon MMs for years now, ever since Sonic Research went away. Currently dubbing a closet full of LPs. So of course I need this more than anyone else!!
Seriously, good luck to all. If I could I'd buy one. But just now I have a vacation to pay for...
Mike27
fingers crossed
Sign me up!
Hoping for this for my new turntable.
Would love to have this!
Pick me! Pick me!
I'd love to try out a 2M Black.
Would fit very nicely onto my Thorens TD124... I prefer MM-cartridge
My table deserves better than my 2M Red! Time to move up to BLACK!
Thanks for the opportunity.
I would LOVE to have this for my Lynn Turntable. Just went ALL tube with a Dynaco ST 70 with the original British Tubes and PAS-3X pre amp and Mcintosh XR-5 Speakers
Randomly pick me, please.
This would make a great addition to my SL-1210M5G

Hope this lottery is open to a Brit - I've got a Rondo Bronze so it would be great to compare to 2M Black!
Currently have the blue, would love this upgrade
Thanks for the opportunity.
Love me some Ortofon.
Go me!
count me in
That would sound nice on my daughter's Rega 2.
I enjoy receiving free things.
Yes, as it happens!
this is perfect for my needs right now.
Thanks
Good luck to everyone!
Have always liked Ortofon cartridges that I have owned in the past. They must criticaly listen to their products.
But haven't been able to afford it. Pick me please.
...and I want it painted Black...
Sorry, i couldn't resist...
Sign me up, please!
As Mr. Lennon said, "I'm A Loser".
Just another poor musician - fate be in a pleasant mood!

I have been looking for a replacement, and would love to try this out.
Is that better than my Grado XT+?

Looks wonderful!
I need this cart!!!

I cant afford it, so lets hope I can win it. Thanks

I'd love to be able to compare this to the HO Dynavector 20Xs I've had in house.
...the sweeter the sound!
I'm in
Please enter me in the contest.

Looks like a great cartridge
I would love to win this - so fingers crossed. Thanks.
My 2M Red could use an upgrade!!
been looking to upgrade my cartridge in the near future and this one is on my short list. I hope I win so I can save the cash for more LPs.
Good giveaway!
I need one of those.
Have 2M Bronze on an Ariston Icon II. Have a Marantz/Clearaudio table with Clearaudio Vituoso. If I win the Black I may have to buy another table for it to reside. What a terrible thing.
I'd love to try out this cart. Great site by the way. Keep up the fine work.
This would be a huge upgrade.
Need one to go with my new TT.
I've been wanting to upgrade my cartridge. Why not one that costs more than my turntable, power supply and preamp combined?
A great prize
With this cartridge.
I'm in! Good luck to all.
I need this upgrade!!
I'm even in the market for a new cartridge. This would sure lighten the load on my paycheque. Eagerly awaiting a review of the Bryter Layter box. Cheers!
Put my name in the virtual hat please.
This would give me a great Orotofon Black & Blue combo!
I'm in!
Hoping to win
Nice prize keeping my fingers crossed
This will do nicely.

Lovely prize!
I've entered several of this contests and came up short. Hopefully this is my LUCKY entry. Would go nice with my VPI Traveler!
Consider me in the running.
Gimme Gimme, please!!
I only have a Debut Carbon but this would certainly be a welcome upgrade.
. . . that I can find a good use for it.
Shibata be mine!
Bought a Kontrapunkt B and Bronze, so might as well try to win an Ort.
I love my turntable, but would love it more with the 2M Black
This would be a great addition to my Pro-Ject Debut III. I currently have a Ortofon 2M Red.
Like Gary, I love vinyl (just dont mention it to Howard). Analog Planet is awesome.
Thanks Micheal!
Pretty Please?!
I used to sell these at a NYC retail store.
This would be a nice addition to my modified Technics EPA-100 tonearm which has an AT OC-9 mounted at the moment, I would need to change the "R's" to "C's" though...
contest entry
This would be a great addition.
Hi, I know i will not win, but anyway.....
A cartridge design inspired by Darth Vader's mask might sound a little on the dark side, but I'm sure I could learn to like it.
Diggin' it!
Ortofon makes great cartridges!!!
US only
Why? We don't deserve a free upgrade?
Cheers, from Europe
Thank you for running this contest and providing the opportunity to win this Cartridge!
I would also love a chance to win this fantastic cartridge. Dear analog planet, I hope I win.
I have the 2M Red and love it. I can only imagine how great the black will sound.
I'm in.
This is mine
...it would be. Thanks.
Love to get it ...

Dear Music Direct as a long time customer i thank you for making it possible for me to enter to win an Ortofon 2M Black Phono Cartridge. I would also like to thank Michael Fremer of analog planet.
But I live in Canada! That suck chunks!!
Any freebies is welcome!
Would be amazing.
Is it bad that it never even occurred to me that this site had accounts? I visit just about every day, but oddly, I never thought to register. I just like Mikey's antics.
Long live, AnalogPlanet and Ortofon!
This would be an amazing upgrade for me!
This site is going from very good to better
I would love to win this cartridge.
This would make my year to win the Ortofan 2M Black.

Thanks!
