Ortofon Stylus 30 Replacement Stylus

The Ortofon Stylus 30 carries a Nude Fine Line diamond – a stylus shape that sits tighter and more precisely in the groove than any elliptical tip, built for the OM 30.

Why this replacement stylus?

Fine Line grinds follow the groove modulation more accurately than elliptical styli, while being gentler on record wear. The result: more fine detail, more precise imaging, calmer highs.

Who it's for (in plain terms)

For ambitious listeners who want to push the OM body to its limits. At this price, though, it's always worth comparing against a complete cartridge from the next price bracket – we'll give you an honest opinion.

Is the Stylus 30 still worth it at this price, or would a new cartridge make more sense?
It depends on the rest of your setup – we'll give you an honest calculation before you decide.
