Up for sale is an Ortofon 2M Black moving magnet cartridge. I bought this one a couple of months ago, but have decided to stick with my low output moving coil (an Ortofon Kontrapunkt B). This 2M Black has about 50 hours of playing time on it. It's only been used on records that I've thoroughly cleaned on my VPI vacuum machine. The cartridge is in absolutely perfect condition. Mounting hardware, manual, etc. are included. FREE SHIPPING!
