At kr 5,000 SEK, this sits well below new pricing for the current CG 25 Di MkII, which is roughly kr 14,000 SEK at retail, so the asking price looks very strong for a clean, working example. Even allowing for the older CG25Di version, kr 5,000 SEK is still in the “worth a serious look” zone rather than a stretch.
What makes it appealing is the classic Ortofon mono SPU presentation: big, weighty, highly focused mono playback with real authority and a very committed fan base. These cartridges are prized for bringing mono LPs to life, especially on a proper setup with the right arm and gain. The upside is best if the stylus is healthy and the cantilever is straight; if those check out, this is the kind of listing that can be a genuinely rewarding buy rather than just a cheap one.

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.
