  • I have been using Ortofon Cartridges for over 50 years which is the best product on the market.
  • I've used this product practically daily for 2 months and it works amazing.
  • This product was recommended to me by someone who knows a lot more about turntables and the like than I do.

Reviews around end (5.00 of 5)

  • The highs are nice and crisp, the mids are not overpowering and the low end is very clean
  • I have several cartridges and this one plays as good as my high end Shure V15 IV cartridge
  • I would say it sounds a bit rolled off at the top end - high hats and cymbals not very open and lacking a bit
  • The sound is pretty rough around the edges with a rolled off top end so far
  • I know Ortofon makes top-end equipment but for the casual user looking for solid quality at a "budget" price point you can't go wrong here.

Reviews around omega (5.00 of 5)

  • Now it is my firm belief that the Omega cannot be significantly bettered by the OM5E, M97xE or any other product both past or present for less than $100.00 Some expensive moving coils will definitely beat it and the Shure
  • Fully re-living the age of Stereo HiFi, with a lot of help from an affordable, impressive Omega Cartridge by Ortofon!
  • The synergy is fantastic between the Technics SL Q3 and the Ortofon Omega
  • I would recommend the Omega for anyone who has a headshell and is looking for something different, and if set up correctly I believe this needle will perform admirably and handle anything you can play (save for a 78).

Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • To my ears, every bit as good sounding as the Audio Technica AT 95e, another great value cartridge
  • This is a great cartridge but I also have the Audio-Technical AT91R which for only $34.00 is a much better value

Reviews around claim (5.00 of 5)

  • It should also work well on other turntable arms as well as Ortofon claims on their web pages that a lot of their cartridges of similar design are compliance neutral and will work with a variety of Arms..but it is also difficult to align properly due to the lack of parallel lines

Reviews around stylus (3.95 of 5)

  • I just couldn't believe that the cheapest stylus I found was not Asian
  • (instruments will not sound like they are playing from beyond or out of your speakers).A very decent elliptical stylus-cartridge indeed

Reviews around track (3.86 of 5)

  • their own(recommended tracking force of 1.5~2g---preferred is at
  • Ortofons have fantastic tracking abilities and are great in noisy, bass-heavy environments like nightclubs.
  • Track at 1.75 grams all I hear is the music, no rumble not platter noise, only the great music in the grooves.

Reviews around cart (3.80 of 5)

  • What was I thinking buying a cheap cart.
  • As a user of Ortofon Cartridges and needles for many years (I own a set of Concordes and Pro-S Cartridges), and as a convert from the mighty Shure M44-7, this cart is a good compromise between both-easy to mount on a headshell, and fairly easy to set up
  • Great choice for inexpensive magnetic phono cart, features elliptical stylus, 1.75 gm tracking force
  • I buy a lot of old vinyl and realize now that some carts make the used records sound better
  • Just before hitting the purchase button to clear my cart, I decided to have another look at similarly priced cartridges and was intrigued by all of the good reviews for the Ortofon Omega
  • Read remaining 9 reviews for cart
