Key Features
The Ortofon 2M Red Replacement Stylus is a spare part for the 2M Red Cartridge, restoring sound quality and helping protect your records from wear. As the entry point in Ortofon's 2M range, it uses a bonded elliptical diamond tip that tracks grooves more precisely than basic styli, delivering clear and balanced sound across all types of music, and a must-try for any audiophile on a budget.
The 2M Red and the 2M Blue—the next step up in the range—share the same cartridge body, so this stylus fits both. That makes it a practical choice for everyday listening, allowing you to save your higher-spec Blue stylus for focused sessions and extend the lifespan of both. Swapping between them is quick, cost-effective, and doesn't require removing the cartridge from your tonearm.
Please note: This is a replacement stylus only. It does not include a cartridge body.
Product Ref: 198341
This product is a replacement stylus for the Ortofon 2M Red Moving Magnet Cartridge. It does not include the required cartridge body or screws. Any images showing the full cartridge are for illustration purposes only.
The 2M Red Replacement Stylus features a bonded elliptical diamond tip, where the diamond is mounted to a metal shank rather than cut from a single piece like the 2M Blue and above. This design balances solid performance with an attractive price point, making it the ideal choice for everyday listening or for budget-conscious audiophiles wanting to explore the acclaimed Ortofon 2M range.
The Ortofon 2M is a scalable cartridge range, but the Bronze and Black use a more advanced body than the Red and Blue. For best results, swap styli within matching tiers. Red and Blue are interchangeable, making the Red a cost-saving spare for either cartridge. Use it to extend the life of your Red or preserve your Blue for more focused listening, easily swapped with the push-fit design.
Designed for long-term use, the 2M Red stylus can last up to 1,000 hours when properly maintained, making it a reliable part of any vinyl setup—whether you're replacing a worn stylus or keeping a spare on hand. It's also a strong first step into Ortofon’s 2M range, with a design by Danish designer Møller Jensen, inspired by the contours of a diamond for both form and function.
