Ortofon Exclusive 2M Black LVB 250 model

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, we announce the release of the 2M Black LVB 250 Exclusive Model. The 2M Black flagship from Ortofon is widely acknowledged as being one of the best MM cartridges on the market, but at Ortofon being the best doesn’t mean that we can’t get better.

Benefits of high-end materials

The 2M Black LVB 250 has been recreated from the concepts of its predecessor, the 2M Black, but the 2M Black LVB 250 performance takes one step further to enhance the cartridge’s capabilities and technical excellence.

The 2M Black LVB 250 uses a Nude Shibata diamond on a Boron cantilever, the combination known from the acclaimed MC Cadenza Black cartridge.

The Nude Shibata stylus’s slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the highest frequencies.

The use of an extremely stiff and lightweight Boron cantilever adds remarkable transparency, speed and responsiveness.

The new rubber compound formula

To attain an optimal interaction between compliance and damping, a new rubber compound for the suspension system has been developed.

The new rubber compound formula is based on the Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT) highly efficient nano filler. The new MWCNT-based compound offers desirable mechanical properties, which ensure better damping and improve the overall performance of the cartridge.

Also, the new MWCNT rubber compound allows for more environmental-friendly production, adding further benefit. The MWCNT powder is applied in a rubber polymer matrix and not in a powdered form, which makes the production process more clean, non-polluting and energy saving.

The 2M Series is Designed for Precise and Accurate Retrieval of the Information in the Record Groove

The 2M Series is developed in conjunction with the Danish Industrial designer Møller Jensen Design – the same designer who designed the award winning MC Jubilee and Kontrapunkt series. Inspired by the facets of a diamond, whose contours gracefully trace the grooves on a record’s surface, the 2M’s handsome elegance establishes a great combination of form and functionality.

The name 2M was selected from among several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember, and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.

Of course the 2M isn’t just another pretty face. It has been engineered to the highest standards and is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration.

Summary of the five classic variations of 2M Cartridges:

  • 2M Mono SE, 2M Mono and 2M 78 are a true mono cartridges for playing mono vinyl records
  • 2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth
  • 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open and reproduces more details
  • 2M Bronze adds even more details and resolution but in a very even handed way that pays respect to all elements
  • 2M Black is the best of everything, true to the groove with resolution and accurate insight into each recording

The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins, an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and OM Super series.

We have optimised the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.

Good fitting support !
Size: Medium, Color: White
Just what the man needed. Very good contoured support. No jostling. Not a loose potato sack after an hour of wearing this. Highly recommended. Compare? Hanes, for example. Even the Jockey brand. Put those on, they're tight fitting, seemingly supportive. But they're not. They aren't contoured to fit. That's the whole idea. Contoured, to fit. And stay fitted. The trunk type, just like this wirarpa, and in half an hour it's loose loose loose fitting. A potato sack. No support. No support at all. That's not what a trunk brief is supposed to do. It's supposed to support, give comfort and confidence, stay in place feeling. Assuredness. And this wirarpa Mens Trunk does the job ! Wash and wear and wash and wear. Stays in shape, never gets stretched out and loose, for the fit.

Very Hard to Review. (But he gave it a 5????)
Size: Large, Color: White
This is more of a personal opinion I didn't wanna insult the vendor by rating it anything other than a five or four. Qualities is excellent. It's a very comfortable. It looks nice. The waist and height ratio is accurate and very good for the money value wise you get a decent amount of high-quality underwear. The best part is that it holds his shape and very comfortable. I'll keep the simple I rated a five because it's high-quality material very good construction and I've used this namebrand in the past before but for their cotton so I know they build very quality products. However, the material for me is overly too soft. This isn't necessarily a bad thing its the type of material (I've had the same type in shirts). This is more personal. When you're wearing the same material it's not noticeable because they blend in feeling wise the same.: however, this material type I've had in a T-shirt before. Very smooth very comfortable feels elegant but it becomes very noticeable on the skin that it's not the same material as the other clothing. Jeans/cotton etc let's say you're wearing cotton shorts. It stands out almost like a different layer of clothing, which I don't like the feeling of not being able to blend in with the rest of the clothing. This isn't me strictly being picking anybody who's ever worn different type of materials, there's a double feeling to it that some people may find annoying. Of course, if everything you're wearing is the same type of material bamboo type it would blend in better. But for me, it just stood out too much being used on cotton or say board shorts. It feels like something you would use with the same material/silk or for sleeping, but even then it becomes noticeable with cotton sleep shorts. I didn't return mine. I kept it, but I'm no longer using it.

My search is over
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Every few years I have to conduct an underwear search because my existing pairs are failing and the same make/model is no longer available. This year I tried several options until I found these. They are a good length, stopping at the upper thigh. They are comfortable and the elastic is tight enough to stay in place but not cut off my circulation.
