Säljer min Technics SL1200G. På sitter en Ortofon 2M Black. Originalkartong kommer med. Inköpt ny på Reference Audio. Spelaren och nålen/pickupen spelar utan anmärkning och låter hur fint som helst. Finns i Göteborg, kan köras ut till närområdet.
Condition is unknown, and at kr32,500 this is clearly ambitious versus your recent comparable SEK market, where the median sits at kr7,075 and the 75th percentile at kr19,743. Even allowing for a strong example, this asking price is well above the top of the usual range, so it needs exceptional justification to make sense.
That said, the 2M Black is a respected moving-magnet cartridge with a reputation for detailed tracking and a lively, resolving top end, so a truly fresh stylus, low hours, or a complete original package can add real value. At this level, I’d want proof of condition and originality, because cartridges are wear items and the stylus is the whole story; without that, the price looks hard to defend.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ortofon: A Century of Precision Sound
Ortofon traces its lineage to October 9, 1918, when Danish engineers Axel Petersen and Arnold Poulsen founded the Electrical Phono Film Company in Copenhagen. The name itself derives from Greek, meaning "correct sound"—a philosophy that has guided the company's trajectory for over a century. Initially focused on synchronized sound film technology, Ortofon pivoted to audio reproduction after 1945, when the superior recording quality of new cutting equipment revealed the inadequacy of existing playback systems. This gap sparked the development of the pioneering Ortofon mono pickup in 1948, establishing the foundation for the company's future dominance.
Today, Ortofon is the world's largest manufacturer of magnetic cartridges for phonograph turntables, producing approximately 500,000 units annually. The company's product portfolio centers exclusively on phono cartridges—both moving magnet and moving coil designs—with over 300 distinct models developed since 1948. This singular focus reflects deep specialization rather than diversification, positioning Ortofon as a micro-mechanical specialist rather than a broad-based audio manufacturer.
Ortofon occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among vinyl enthusiasts and professional studios alike. The brand benefits from Denmark's established reputation for acoustic engineering and industrial design, supported by in-house research and development. For discerning turntable owners, Ortofon cartridges represent the gold standard—a heritage brand whose century-long commitment to cartridge excellence remains unmatched in the industry.
