What's Spinning

They do. For a long while I was sceptical, I don’t trust when lots of people say something is great without any dissent. I accept I was way off the mark, there is no dissent because these things are great value for money!
There’s not any dissent, there is a whole segment of people that love that ort sound, hell NOS even argued with me about them being bright (ortofons)... but grado is *chef’s kiss* for me.

Yeah I mean I loved my ort blue on my old amp and I’d never dissuade anyone from upgrading from a red to one, in fact I’d actively encourage it, the blue is a great cartridge. The gear I moved to emphasised it’s weaknesses, it’s a bit detailed which can lead to it being bright and shrill on higher notes. The Grado plays much nicer with it. I’d say both are brilliant cartridges, which punch above their cost, the one you prefer will depend largely on your other gear and your preferences.
