  • PositiveHohe Auflösung, zugleich unaufdringlich-stimmiger Ton
  • PositiveSehr verzerrungs- und verfärbungsarme Abtastung
  • NegativeNicht für jeden Phonoeingang gleich gut geeignet

Wenn du einfach einen ehrlichen, kompetenten Tonabnehmer ohne Zicken oder Soundeffekte suchst, wirst du mit dem Ortofon 2M Blue hochzufrieden sein. Wichtig sind jedoch gute Justage in allen Ebenen, ein guter und präzise gelagerter Tonarm sowie nicht zuletzt ein guter Phono-Vorverstärker - dann spielt der Ortofon 2M Blue ungemein farbig und lebendig und insgesamt besser, als man es zu diesem Preis erwarten würde.
