In celebration of our 25th anniversary we release this superior cartridge in cooperation with audiophile phonographic pioneer Ortofon! To realize higher levels of detail, we modified the entry level classic OM 10 with pure silver coils, this also opened up the transparency of this cartridge.

Fitting to our Signature tone arms and turntables, we developed 3 different headshells. In general every material has its own sound character. So try it! Additionally it allows you to have a cartridge collection with different types of phono cartridges. So you can select your favorite for different type of music or records to maximise your sound quality. The different mass of the Headshells gives also the possibility to get the correct weight of your cartridge/headshell combination, which fits perfect to your arm!

The Pro-Ject Pick it S2 MM is manufactured by the cartridge experts at Ortofon and voiced by the design team at Pro-Ject. It is equipped with a special elliptical stylus tip. It provides detailed sound reproduction and expansive imaging. It is a no-nonsense performer with fascinating musical resources. Attached to a strong cantilever, used in DJ cartridges, this cartridge will not just sound great, it is also very strong.

Ortofon‘s Concorde series was highly acclaimed especially at professional DJ‘s. An often overlooked detail is, that it had its roots as a HiFi cartridge. That is exactly where we want to position it again. This special collaboration between Pro-Ject and Orftofon revealed this high value phono cartridge – Pick it S2 C!

The Pro-Ject 2M series uses Ortofons own technology, that allows to reach the same levels of flat frequency response as Moving Coil cartridges. 2M Silver combines these technologies with ultimate simple mounting procedure for nearly all available turntables. Due to MM principle, 2M cartridges are compatible with most phono preamplifiers. An absolutely feature unique in this price range, 2M-Silver uses internal silver plated copper coils, which guarantees outstanding sonic results!

With its exposed cantilever design, elliptical stylus and ability to deliver stunning levels of musical detail, our engineers have designed the ALVA MC High-output Moving Coil cartridge to perfectly compliment the ALVA TT. Adopting visual cues from both the ALVA TT and our Edge range, the ALVA MC features patterned knurling and is finished in lunar grey. Celebrating 50 years of audio innovation, the 68° angle seen running top to bottom serves as a call back to our founding year of 1968.

When looking for high quality HiFi cartridges it is very obvious, that real High End systems almost exclusively use the Moving Coil principle. Because of the lower moving mass – the moving coil is a lot lighter than a moving magnet – a dynamic and detailed sound with superior low distortion is possible. The resulting lower output voltage can be compensated nowadays with the use of a high quality phono stage (such as Phono Box DS2, Tube Box DS2, Phono Box RS)
