Slightly used ORTOFON 10 STYLUS NEEDLE IN BOX FOR SUPER OM 10 CARTRIDGE ALL OM CARTRIDGES.

REGA PLANAR 3 turntable. Black. With Ortofon Super OM10 MM Cartridge. In good used condition and full working order, with no obvious marks or scratches to the deck or arm. The top cover, as can be seen in the photos, was replaced a while ago with an identical one, albeit that it is branded NAD. Obviously this is purely cosmetic and does not detract from the sound produced by the deck! The Ortofon Super OM10 cartridge, which I upgraded from the one the deck came with, has had fairly light use. Full details below. I will package as best I can to prevent damage when shipping and will insure for the full amount of the winning bid. The Ortofon Super OM10 phono cartridge is very popular among turntable owners for three reasons: it plays music with refinement, smoothness and artful competence that makes it endearing; it is sensibly priced; & it offers an upgrade path to highest fidelity. By simply replacing the stylusThe Super OM cartridges have been designed on the basis of our OM lightweight system with three major improvements: 1. By means of computer simulations it has been possible to define the natural pivot point of the system with unprecedented accuracy while achieving an optimum oscillation balance. The result: improved linearity, higher channel separation and reduced distortion. 2. Additionally, a new technique was developed and applied: slit less than 1 mm dia. hollow pole pins, thus significantly reducing eddy current losses caused by magnetic hysteresis. This sophisticated technology extends the frequency range and improves phase linearity. 3. Thirdly OM Super cartridge body is manufactured from a Noryl (plastic & glass compound) which ensures high rigidity, and freedom from resonances.Pickup Type: MMMounting: half-inch Output voltage: 4.0mV at 1kHz, 5cm / sec.
