Tonabnehmer MM Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250 (aus Erstbesitz mit allem Zubehör)
Das Ortofon hat ca. 250 - 300 Betriebsstunden auf dem Buckel und stammt aus Erstbesitz, einem tier- und rauchfreiem Haushalt und wurde selbstverständlich immer pfleglich behandelt.
Der Shibata-Nadelschliff befindet sich in einem tadellosen Zustand, der Tonabnehmer funktioniert einwandfrei.
Verkauf nur wegen dem Umstieg auf einen MC-Tonabnehmer!
Versand ist möglich.
New, the Ortofon 2M Black is currently around €539, so €340 used in excellent condition is a strong deal. It sits well below the €430 25th-percentile comparable, and substantially under the €520 median, making this a genuine buying opportunity rather than merely a fair price.
The 2M Black remains a highly regarded flagship MM cartridge, valued for its nude Shibata stylus, excellent tracking, crisp timing, dynamics, and very high resolution. It can extract impressive detail from familiar records while retaining a healthy 5 mV output for standard MM phono stages. At this price, the key practical check is simply stylus wear and confirmation that the mounting hardware and stylus guard are included; otherwise, an excellent-condition example at €340 is hard to fault.
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.
