Ortofon Stylus 2M Silver Replacement Stylus

The Ortofon Stylus 2M Silver is the original replacement stylus for the 2M Silver – elliptical diamond tip, also compatible with the 2M Red and 2M Blue bodies.

Why this replacement stylus?

With proper care, Ortofon states a 2M stylus lasts around 1,000 hours of operation before wear becomes audible. The Stylus 2M Silver then restores your cartridge's original, balanced sound character.

Who it's for (plain talk)

For owners of a 2M Silver – and, since the body is identical across the 2M entry-level class, also for anyone upgrading from a 2M Red or Blue to the Silver stylus.
