A replacement stylus for the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, with a Nude Elliptical diamond tip. Ortofon also lists it as an upgrade for the 2M Red, 2MR Red and 2M Red Premounted.

Ortofon says the Stylus 2M Blue is the correct replacement for an existing 2M Blue and a natural upgrade for the 2M Red. It says installation takes seconds and needs no alignment.

Is it right for you?

A great fit if you…

  • Own a 2M, 2MR or 2M Premounted Blue cartridge
  • Need a replacement stylus, not a whole cartridge
  • Want to upgrade a 2M Red, 2MR Red or 2M Red Premounted by changing the stylus

Worth knowing

  • It is a stylus only, so it needs a matching Ortofon cartridge body to play
  • Ortofon recommends it for the 2M, 2MR and 2M Premounted Blue cartridges
  • Ortofon also lists the 2M Red, 2MR Red and 2M Red Premounted as bodies it upgrades
