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.

Disappointed in new formulation
Style: Golden Hour
I have been a loyal customer of Coola’s tinted sunscreen for over five years, purchasing it more than ten times on Amazon. It used to be my absolute favorite product—lightweight, luminous, with a beautiful shimmer and a lovely rose-like scent. Unfortunately, the recent reformulation is extremely disappointing. The new version has a harsh, overwhelming chemical odor—almost petroleum-like—that is off-putting and unpleasant to wear. It no longer applies the same way, and the coverage and radiance I loved are gone. Worse, I have sensitive skin, and this new formula causes tingling and even a slight burning sensation on my face. I originally thought I had received a bad batch and even repurchased in another shade, hoping it was just a one-off issue. Sadly, both bottles were the same. This is not the product I once loved, and I’m honestly heartbroken by the change. Unless the original formula is brought back, I can no longer recommend or repurchase.

I usually don't stick to the same product for this long
Style: Bronze Goddess
I've been using this BB Cream with SPF 30, Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen & Foundation for years, and that’s saying a lot coming from me, as I usually don't stick to the same product for this long. This one, however, is an exception. It offers everything I need in one: excellent sun protection, a natural tint that evens out my skin tone, and lightweight moisturizing coverage. It blends effortlessly, leaving my skin looking flawless without feeling heavy or greasy. I frequently receive compliments on my skin, and I attribute that to this amazing BB cream. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an all-in-one skincare solution!

Great glow with even color and sunscreen.
Style: Golden Hour
This is the one thing I use every day. Alone or as a base for make up. I love the sheer coverage that color corrects and provides sunscreen. Easy to throw on with smooth easy coverage. It takes other types of makeup really well… powders and contouring sticks perfectly. It does not ball up when used with other products. It does not have a strong scent and gives you a great glow. I always get compliments on my skin using it. I have tried so many other natural products like this and this is my favorite.

Good for skiing or boating
Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Works great to slather on my kids face before skiing or boat ride. It is thick but rubs in pretty clear. Doesn’t leave a residue.

Great small size and lasting sun protection
Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Love the small stick... have been using it for month and with my sensitive, light skin it always provides protection. You do have to reapply it as necessary - I am outside all day working at kayak shop and sweating. It stays on but reapply every couple hours. Been waiting for something this size and convenient and effective
