OMB standing for "Optimum Match, Bulk" lives up to its name. This cartridge a backbone in the Ortofon HiFi line. Often found on high-end Thorens turntables $500 to $1000, you will not be disappointed with this cartridge. And if you are, don't worry it can handle any stylus in the 'related products' section below, including the STY-40 (our# 541-DEZ) with ease.

Bulk simply means that it comes from Ortofon in a bulk tray, no fancy box to lose or toss. Just a great sounding cartridge with the STY-10 stylus and slide-on protector to protect that stylus from the maid dusting your turntable. We provide our own box for you.

With an incredibly easy to replace needle body, this is a great choice for someone playing 78's or someone who has a cheap needle to play those garage sale LP's and a nice stylus for LP's already in their collection known to be in good shape.

So we confidently recommend this cartridge for:
versatility (easy of use)
cost vs. performance
trusted leading quality brand name made in Denmark for decades, never China
