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.

Bring it home baby!
Me! Me! I'm dressed like a turnip!
This is one sweet electrical generator that I wouldn't mind having at the end of my tone arm.
I have the blue, but I want the black.
thanks!
Jusj got a new TT, this would be a great addition...
I know I would adore a Black. :)
I would love me some MM.
yep! a winner!
Life would be back with an Ortofon Black!
would totally dig this
...for allowing me to win this classic cartridge!
Thank you! I hope I win.
Thank you for the opportunity. I would handle it with love should I be the lucky winner!
Oh good! A moving magnet cartridge. I could use that with my system, without any other upgrades being necessary. It would be fascinating to see how it compares to my AT125LC. Presumably it would have a noticeably nicer overall sound.
I hope I win! I need a new cart.
Hoping to win this to upgrade from my previous cartridge purchased at Music Direct!
This is exactly the cartridge I' craving about.
This would be a great..
why not
I have a Benz Micro Ace but the stylus is very close to being unusable.
I love the sound of good moving magnet cartriges and this is a great one!
Winning this would allow me go forward with the purchase of the new turntable from you as well. Thanks for your support Music Direct.
I have used various ortofon cartridges years ago. They were very good.
Thanks for picking something worth winning.
I'd love to compare this to my Audio Technica ML440a!
looks like a really nice cart, thanks.
Gimme a chance to win the cartridge, I need a fresh one.
I've got a 2M Blue now, and the 2M Black would be an awesome upgrade...
A match made in audiophile heaven.
A match made in audiophile heaven.
Can't wait to mount this on my Rega tonearm. Thank you Music Direct!
Looks cool.
Greetings,
I have read many great comments about how this cartridge competes with models in the $2K-3K dollar range. Can't wait to try it!
keep your hands off my records.

It's an Analog Planet.... and I just live in it.

Would be an upgrade from my current "Red".

This would sound great on my Rega turntable!
Thanks for the oppurtunity
I'm going to Copenhagen tomorrow and i'd love a free Ortofon cartridge.
Have the Red, would love the Black!
I need this thing!
I would love to compare this to my Shure V15VxMR with Jico SAS stylus!
Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the two?
...and we are lucky to spin it.
I own the blue, so it would be wonderful to compare.

Had it before and passed, but the system has changed since then.
It would be nice to have.
Thanks Music Direct and AnalogPlanet for giving everyone this wonderful opportunity!

Would love to try to hear difference between a $700 and $100 cartridge.
What a great offer. Thank you Music Direct!
Puuuhhhleeeeaaaazzzeeeeee!
I have had my eye on this cart for a while now. Would give me a reason to upgrade my TT. Wish me Luck !!!
I've got a Shure and a couple of Grado's. It's time for an Ortofon. I want to hear some untouched regions on my vinyl collection.
Count me in!
Thanks for this opportunity! Pick me. Pick Me!
Awesome site. Thanks.
Is a little long in the tooth!
till they give it away..................................gasp...
God I would love to replace my Red 2M with the Black 2M, fingers and toes crossed !
Thanks for the opportunity.
My V15VMR is worn down to a nub--this 2M Black would fit the bill nicely. Thanks!
Read many good things about this cart--I'd love to hear it!
Or as we would say in school: pick me! pick me! Thank you!
free is nice...
Thanks for the new Ortofon. I have the 2M red and like it lots, but suspect I would (will! will!) like this one even more.
5 mV is kind of high output, but my son would love this.
I am a OM20 Super happy owner and I love Ortofon sound but I would definitely be happier to win the best MM cartridge from Ortofon.
I am already excited to get the best VTA for my records and see how my direct to disc recording from Umbrella Label sounds.
Thanks Analog Planet for this opportunity.
George,
the analog guy

This would be a great upgrade for a friend of mine that loves the hunt for new LP's but pays little attention to his system.
Just what i need! I have to win one of these ;-)
I'd love to caress my vinyl with this fantastic cartridge.. I could sure use an upgrade like this.. Thanks for the opportunity..
This is a great thing to win, I'll take it!
What a great prize!!!!
I am saving up to purchase a new Rega RP6 for my Holiday present to myself this year. This will be the perfect complement to that 'table. I hope I win, but whoever wins will have many years of audio enjoyment.

I would love to replace my vintage Dynavector MC cartridge with a modern MM and eliminate the extra stage of amplification.
would love to hear how this one sounds
Would be delighted if picked!
I need to replace my Shure V15VxMR and this would fit the bill perfectly.

This would be nice on my new super scoutmaster
For a REGA arm........I can oblige
