Ortofon Stylus 78

Replacement stylus for the 2M 78 moving magnet cartridge. 

The 2M 78 features an improved True Mono engine, which provides a high level of sonic accuracy, as well as expertly cut Spherical diamond that is perfect for playback of 78 rpm records (which require a larger stylus profile).

The 2M 78 stylus is designed to offer optimum sound performance from older 78RPM records.

Please Note: If you purchase this replacement stylus to use on any other 2M cartridge, apart from the 2M 78, the sound performance will not be true mono. We only recommend using this stylus on the 2M 78 cartridge body.
