This is an excellent entry level cartridge suitable for many modest turntables. It costs only a little more than a replacement stylus for many cartridges but has an elliptical stylus and Ortofon engineering experience.

Super clear and great service

Dear folks at Decibel Hi Fi, This morning I received the record cleaning brush and Ortofon cartridge that I ordered from you just yesterday. Jeepers you're quick! I've just installed the Ortofon 5E cartridge in my low-end but much loved Pioneer turntable and tried it out with Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here". I have to say I'm bowled over by the clarity and dynamics. For such a low price I never expected it would be this good. Many thanks for your terrific service. I'll definitely be buying from you again.
