Ortofon Stylus 40 Replacement Stylus

The Ortofon Stylus 40 is the flagship of the OM replacement styli – a Nude Fritz Gyger 70 diamond for the highest level of detail the OM body can deliver.

Why this replacement stylus?

The Fritz Gyger 70 grind ranks among the most demanding stylus shapes there are: an extremely large contact area with the groove, yet minimal wear. Ortofon itself positions the Stylus 40 as the stylus with the "highest degree of detail" in the entire series.

What you'll hear

A noticeable gain in fine detail, soundstage and calmness in the sound picture – provided the tonearm, alignment and phono stage play along.

Who it's for (in plain terms)

For experienced analogue listeners who want to push the OM 30 body consistently to its limits. At this price, a consultation is worthwhile to check whether a complete high-end cartridge might be the better investment.

Our verdict

The crowning discipline of the OM series – only worthwhile with a tonearm that does it justice.
