Product description

Ortofon proudly introduces the Omega – a universal ½” mount cartridge designed to fit literally hundreds of consumer turntables (including many of the most popular USB turntable models). The Omega is not a DJ cartridge, but instead a low-mass, low-wear elliptical turntable cartridge designed to provide a remarkable, yet cost effective upgrade in sound quality (over stock cartridges). With vinyl and consumer turntables making a comeback outside of the DJ market, Ortofon created the Omega to satisfy the abundance of customers looking either to revive their vintage turntables or to jump head first into the multitude of USB turntables that have become available even in the most common electronics stores.

Wow! This is incredibly so good
I was a bit skeptical at first. But after a few hours of listening the sound kept getting better and better! The greatest thing about this cartridge is that you can upgrade the stylus with the OM series. I highly recommend this product.

    The media could not be loaded.
    This is my 3rd purchase in the past Doesn't are so years of this great Pick up As it is a most reliable performer. I have an SL 2500 professional direct professional direct drive turntable. Having spare headshells with cartridges mounted in them is a big deal to me. Then again so is sound quality. I am not only an audio file that has been around the block a viewed times over the past 50 plus years But a distracted als. When I feature the show Vinyl hour with Dwayne Eddie the reaction of my listeners was extremely positive as I could not believe vinyl could sound that good !

    Setting up the cartridge is relatively easy Although the competing Audio-Technica VM95C has it beat here with its Mounting threads in the cartridge itself. Nonetheless the omega is fairly easy to mount with the supplied hardware 2 screws 2 nuts.

    I prefer to use the save vinyl head shells available here on 鶹 As the slightly rough outer coating of the head stends to grab the nuts and bolts a lot better than others. Once the cartridge was mounted I then aligned at using the techniques overhang gauge to get it in the ballpark and then my own personal favorite 2 point protractor.

    This is a bit time consuming if you have not had this experience yet area and s*** with phono cartridges and turned tables but bestation you'll be fine. You may find yourself using language that you never thought possible lol.

    Once everything was A-line to my satisfaction I reject the tracking weight and set it to precisely 1.75 gras the manufacturer recommends. I then proceeded to give the cartridge about 25 hours of breakim time With some Broadway classical And mild rock. Then it was time to put it to the test with my professor Johnson's astounding sound show that I've had in my collection for years on reference recording records.

    The omega aced each and every track almost a super faction on both sides of the open yo pay with only a super more expensive hire and pick up Being able to do any better ! It has an amazing ability to reproduce vocals percussion and strings With high accuracy and correSeptember so long as you use a top quality photo stcheck like the rolls VP29.

    Even more impressive is the longevity of the stylus assembly itself which is a mild elliptical shape. It is well made by the manufacturerachel and I still have my 1st purchase in action after 13 years and it is still sounding quite good if not perfect. So that Bixby's plenty of quality as far as this model is concerned especially at its meager price point of 37 bucks !

    Stereo separation is absolutely awesome and at least the specified mark of 25DB at 1 k. Are there better pickups on the market? Of course there are But how much more would you have to spend to attain then you might be disappointed. Hang on to your money and enjoy this lovely 5 star performer and you have to love the high visibility of the omega symbol on the stylus assembly especially if your eyes are old and weak like mine.

    It picks up the ticks and pops that are on your older records but not quite as annoying as other ones As the cartridge is quite forgiving and sounds very clean without without a trace of um. In fact this is the quietestcartridge in my repertoire.

    With a good phono preamp you will hear plenty of subtlety and nuance With this omega. You'd have to spend a lot more money my friend in order to get appreciably better performance And sound staging
    and I do mean much mucho more! Enjoy the music And happy listening PJS2

    La calidad de audio es muy buena, la aguja lee menos cantidad de "suciedad" y entrega un sonido claro. Facil de poner y contiene la información necesaria para su exacto ajuste.
    En realidad la compré con la intención de "probar" y me lleve una muy grata sorpresa.
