Introducing the Ortofon FF15E Mk2, a vintage MM phono cartridge that comes with a genuine Ortofon stylus. This cartridge is perfect for those who are looking for superior audio quality and durability. It is compatible with a wide range of brands and types of turntables, making it a versatile choice for any audiophile. The FF15E Mk2 is a perfect combination of classic design and modern technology, ensuring that you get the best possible sound quality from your vinyl records.

One of my favorites a Dual 510 belt-drive turntable. No frills, just solid performance. With an Ortofon FF15E Mk II cartridge which is an improvement from the original to the turntable, likely also an Ortofon. Cover is very clean with minor scuffs, theres a little nick in the wood grain on the bottom front that could be glued back into place or touched up. New belt, tested by listening to an LP on a stereo. I have sold +100 turntables on eBay since 1998, I have a lot of experience packing these so they will survive shipping. You will have to re-install the platen and belt as they will be lifted off and packed in styrofoam.

I was therefore expecting an inferior performance from the F15E, but I’ve since learned that cartridges are not always so straight-forward.Treble: High-frequency delivery is crisp and clear, with a good level of detail, and gives air to the sound. The treble makes an important contribution to the precise sound of this cartridge but isn’t too forward and is unlikely to prove tiring. Midrange: The mid-band has nice body, and is again clear and open with a decent level of detail. It gives vocals good presence and texture, and sibilance is handled reasonably well.Bass: The bass is forward, punchy and assertive. Deep bass is a strength of this cartridge and lends impressive weight to the sound. The bass is generally of extraordinary quality, especially at the price – taut, agile and reasonably textured. It allows the cartridge to navigate fast-moving rhythms with ease but without bass weight suffering.The above elements come together to produce a very pleasing whole, the overall character being a clean, tight sound with a relatively neutral balance. Some may perceive the balance as slightly warm, due to the prominence of the bass. The deep bass certainly gives weight to the sound but there is a solid feel across the entire frequency spectrum, right through to the upper-treble. Detail is also nicely portrayed across all the bands, although this is not a highly detailed, analytical cartridge. The excellent dynamics add significantly to the entertainment value of this cartridge, but are not over-bearing. While the F15E works well with all types of music, I find that its tight, punchy, agile presentation is well-suited to fast, 1980s electronic Pop. The main criticism that can be levelled at this cartridge is that there is occasionally a hint of hardness and lack of subtlety on some material. It also doesn’t have the sweet and charming personality that some cartridges have, but this is a minor quibble. It seems to me that the F15E was an exceptional budget/mid-priced cartridge which most listeners would find very satisfying and entertaining.

This is an Ortofon FF15E mk 2 cartridge, bought new by me in 1980. It is in excellent condition, having had less than 200 hours use. It has only ever been installed on a Thorens TD160S with the TP16 II arm, so has been well-cared for. I used it for four years before succumbing to a Rega Planar 3 (oh fie! o foolish youth). The Rega arrived with another cartridge pre-installed so I removed the FF15E and it has been unused ever since, apart from testing this week to make sure it works okay (it does, rather splendidly in fact). At the time, it was in Ortofon’s budget range. but iIt is worth remembering, however, that the £17.50 cost in 19809 translates to a £105 cartridge now, so probably the equivalent of the Ortofon 2M Red or similar. The FF15E has an elliptical stylus, although others were (and still are) available, including a rather nice looking nude conical. Like a number of vintage cartridges, the FF15E seems to be undergoing a resurgence in popularity at the moment, with a number of positive reviews on forums and blogs. New styli are available, either OEM or NOS Ortofon. This is your chance to enjoy the classic Ortofon sound from a cartridge in perfect condition. It comes with original box, presentation case, instructions and mounting bolts.
