Ortofon Stylus 5E Replacement Stylus

The Ortofon Stylus 5E is the elliptical replacement stylus for the OM 5E – an original part for when your cartridge loses its freshness after many hours of play.

Why this replacement stylus?

The elliptical diamond tip sits closer to the groove than a spherical one – the Stylus 5E faithfully restores the finer detail resolution of your OM 5E.

Who it's for (in plain terms)

For anyone with an OM 5E whose stylus has reached the end of its service life. If you want more straight away, the Super OM 5E body has room for higher-grade styli.

Technical Data

• Stylus shape: elliptical, r/R 8/18 µm

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I replace the stylus?
