Ortofon OM 5E Moving Magnet Cartridge

The OM 5s features a Spherical diamond. Spherical diamonds are robust and economic solution for play back of vinyl records. The OM 5E features an Elliptical diamond. Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion. In the development of OM cartridges, a major objective was to provide the music lover with the opportunity to optimize sound reproduction without having to replace the entire cartridge. Instead of being merely intended for replacement purposes following wear or damage.
