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.

Incredible motor oil !
Style: Restore & Protect, Size: 5 QT, Configuration: 5W-30
I've used this in my 2014 Buick Encore with 91k miles on it for 2 oil changes and the results are extremely impressive. The engine in the 'ole gal is noticably quieter and my gas milage is definately improving. I switched from Mobil 1 to this oil based primarily on reviews and I'm glad I made the switch. This vehicle is not only my commuter car (80 miles per day), but it's my "winter" vehicle so it sees some temperature extremes. This oil is remarkable ! Time will tell, but I definately recommend it.

Good! I would buy this again if needed.
Style: Restore & Protect, Size: 5 QT, Configuration: 5W-30
Good! I would buy this again if needed. The best oil to use in a KIA, IMO. Keeps it clean and might help prevent oil burning. Your KIA needs the best oil you can feed it. They are known for failing engines so why not give it the best, especially if its out of warranty like mine!

USE THIS 3 yr old-10yr old cars But it is not for use for classic muscle car-flat tappet cams
Style: Restore & Protect, Size: 5 QT, Configuration: 5W-30
Valvoline has come up with a tested, amazinng engine oil for not the newest cars..but for cars say 3-10 years old that may have some varnish-sludge build up..works slowly enough over time so it doesnt suddently clog the filter, but DO change oil and filter at 3500, not more. In fact 3500 to 4K max for ANY car, any time. DO NOT go longer as some mfg or oil say you can. Tests show that sludge builds up. This oil is NOT for classic muscle cars with flat tappet cams.

Amazing Oil!
Style: Restore & Protect, Size: 5 QT, Configuration: 5W-30
So far after first oil change it made my Toyota Tundra 5.7L with 255k miles run smoother and quieted the timing chain tensioner knock that I was quoted $5k and up to repair! Will be using from now on to 500k miles plus!

A fascinating glimpse into the undoing of the Confederacy
Format: Paperback
This dense and and well-written book includes some really interesting insights into how the Confederacy was formed, but then ultimately challenged and destroyed by some of the people it excluded. In Confederate Reckoning, we get to learn about the epic political battle in which White women and slaves in the South helped to undermine the Confederacy and determine the outcome of the Civil War.
