Redefining what is possible from a moving magnet (MM) cartridge, the 2M Black LVB 250 is truly an exercise in technical excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2M Black LVB 250 uses a Nude Shibata diamond on a Boron cantilever. This combination is also found on the acclaimed MC Cadenza Black cartridge. The Nude Shibata stylus’s slim, highly polished profile allows for an exceedingly wide contact area with the record 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 to the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith an optimal weight of 7.2 g and compliance suited to most modern tonearms, the 2M Black LVB 250 is easily compatible with an endless array of modern High-End equipment and is the ultimate solution for high fidelity reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn all other elements of its general design, the 2M Black LVB 250 draws from the coveted 2M range’s principles. Its structure, materials and generator system are all drawn from the standard 2M Black for a proven high-fidelity performance. For that reason, the 2M Black LVB 250 stylus can also fit on and bring a notable upgrade to existing 2M Bronze and 2M Black customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor more information on which cartridge is best for you and the differences between models in the Ortofon range, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.henleyaudio.co.uk\/hear-the-difference\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esee here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExclusive version of the 2M Black, built to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Ludwig Van Beethoven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNude Shibata diamond stylus, mounted on a boron cantilever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecial upgraded engine, featuring split pole pins with a silver plated copper wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetailed sound reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the most high frequency groove information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReduced distortion and record wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCartridge body made from highly rigid and resonance eliminating materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemarkable transparency, speed and responsiveness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew MWCNT-based compound, ensures better damping and improves the overall performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMore environmentally-friendly production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEasily compatible with an array of modern High-End equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExclusive LVB 250 design printed on the cartridge and stylus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReplacement stylus available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnnounced in 2020, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, the 2M Black LVB 250 sits within Ortofon’s own long tradition of paying tribute to persons who have been highly influential within high-end audio culture.
