Re: Why do people diss the Ortofon OM10? Also my Shure/AT carts

I hear you, I have the OMB-10, which supposedly is a OM-10 but sold in bulk. I got it as a temporary fix after damaging my Grado Gold cartridge.

the OMB-10 did fine, it certainly tracks better than the Gold...but it does sound a bit unrefined.

to add gas to the fire i replaced it with the AT 440MLa & find it to be MUCH, MUCH better than the OMB-10...but that's on my 'table & my ears.

For the $ though, its a good design (i think) & does play music. I'm keeping mine as a backup for sure...

If you stick with Ortofon, try one of their Super catridges in the future. A freind has a Super 20 and it sounds great on an old Dual TT.
