- New old stock in plastic case and LP Tunes packaging. Screws, nuts, and stylus guard included.

The Ortofon OMB 10 OMB-10 phono cartridge is the version of the OM 10 cartridge offered to turntable manufacturers for their use as original equipment with their turntables. Their popularity stems from three compelling reasons: (1) it plays music with authenticity, refinement, and artful competence that makes it endearing; (2) it is sensibly priced; and (3) it offers an upgrade path to highest fidelity. By simply replacing the stylus, an Ortofon OMB 10 owner can upgrade its performance to the highly rated Ortofon OM20, OM30 or OM40 cartridge.

There is a discontinued Super OM cartridge version. The current 2M is a further extension of it. Both illuminate the high frequencies to make it sound livelier — hotter. We prefer the original OM as it delivers an organic, natural, faithful, and honest sound of the recorded material.

Super Upgradeable
All OM models have the same body, construction, and magnetic circuitry. The only difference is the interchangeable stylus unit. Thus, when your level of musical sophistication improves, you can simply switch the existing stylus to the Ortofon Stylus 20, 30 or for pinnacle performance the Ortofon Stylus 40. The Ortofon Stylus 40 offers pinnacle performance for the most demanding listener.

sounds fine.

An attractive entry level cartridge

I have been an audiophile for 50 years who has just recently gotten back into vinyl records. bought this to acquire the Super OM body, not the OM-10 replacement stylus attached to it. The Super OM-10 is an entry level audiophile cartridge offering sound quality that is just okay and leaves me for wanting for much more. So I can't rate this product too highly. HOWEVER, it offers a relatively inexpensive upgrade path to good sounding cartridges by switching out the OM-10 replacement stylus with an OM-20, OM-30, or OM-40 on the Super OM body. The OM-20 has developed a reputation as a best-bang-for-the-buck product that is perfect for a maturing audiophile (and deservedly so), while the OM-30 is a bit more refined, intended for the fairly serious but not high end audiophile market. I have no use for or interest in using the OM-10 stylus except as a back-up; its sole value lies as an entry level product or as a temporary stand-in for a higher level stylus that has suffered damage. I am happy with the purchase because it met expectations, was value priced, and has put the best-value Super OM-20 cartridge within my grasp with the purchase of the OM-20 replacement stylus (approximately $230 including tax).

Super 10 is super

Truth is I haven't played it yet. My record player is in the shop getting spruced up.However, my entire system is 1971 so I'm pretty sure the Super OM 10 is going to work really good.

ViVid Line replacement for Shure m97xe cartridge

The stylus is amazing. The original stylus needed some adjustments. It was a bit harsh in the mid to higher. The new ViVid Line is awesome. No need to EQ needed. Everything pops out and doesn't cause fatigue. Nice lows, mids, and highs. If you what to replace/ update you Shure m97xe, this is it. Maybe a bit pricey but well worth it.

Perfect replacement

This replacement stylus has the same dimensions as the original, and fit perfectly. My vinyl records sounds wonderful now.

It's The Correct Belt.

Not much to say. The Previous belt became brittle and snapped, and I'm sure this one will too, one day. But for now, It's exactly what my record player needed.
