Great because this gives me a chance to have a little rave about the Ortofon 2M Red. The top of the line Black gets lots of deserved audiophile mileage but the Red is also a real star IMO.
A couple of years ago my friend bought a used Rega Planar (1,2 or 3 - can't remember, but an early one) as a present for his stepson and asked me to fit a cartridge to it. He turned up with an Ortofon Red. Duly fitted I checked it out through my system. At the time both I and my friend were running multi-thousand dollar Lyras in our respective systems. The Red started to play and we looked at each other and simultaneously said "Wow". Even straight out of the box we were amazed at just how much of the performance of our v. expensive rigs it offered ( with the Rega , of course). It got me to regard the 2M range highly and I have since bought one of them for myself (the 2M Mono SE cart).
The Red is not arm fussy and is a breeze to install. I cannot imagine that you will have anything other than a great time.
On the disabilty front I guess I now have a small one of my own as I have lost the sight in my right eye and the left one isn't that great. Makes fitting cartridges bloody hard! And typing :-( .
