Ortofon 2M Black LVB Phono Cartridge

The Ortofon Exclusive 2M Black LVB 250 Model

The 2M Black flagship from Ortofon is widely acknowledged as one of the best MM cartridges on the market. However, at Ortofon, being the best doesn’t mean that we can’t get better.

The 2M Black LVB 250 upgrades the excellent build of the 2M Black with a boron cantilever and our proprietary Nano Tube suspension system. The result is a sound so precise and detailed that it feels like you have invited the artist into your home, performing right in your living room.

The 2M Black LVB was released to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven in December 2020.

Beyond Amazing - Like Having the Artist in the Room with You

The 2M Black is an outstanding cartridge and is considered by many to be the ultimate in moving magnet technology. So, why would we attempt to create something even better? Because perfection runs in our blood. The 2M Black LVB 250 enhances the already impressive build of the 2M Black, resulting in a sound so precise and detailed that it feels like you have invited the artist into your home.

Benefits of High-End Materials

The 2M Black LVB 250 is built on the concepts of its predecessor, the 2M Black, but its performance takes a step further to enhance the cartridge’s capabilities and technical excellence.

Stylus - Nude Shibata Diamond on a Boron Cantilever

The 2M Black LVB 250 features a Nude Shibata diamond stylus mounted on a boron cantilever.

The slim, highly polished profile of the Nude Shibata stylus allows for an exceedingly wide contact area with the groove walls, ensuring notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including the highest frequencies. The use of an extremely stiff and lightweight boron cantilever adds remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness.

Rubber Suspension - Nano Tube Suspension System

The 2M Black LVB 250 features our proprietary Nano Tube suspension system. The new rubber compound formula is based on Multi-Wall Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNT) as a highly efficient nano filler. This MWCNT-based compound offers desirable mechanical properties, ensuring better damping and improved overall performance of the cartridge.

Compatibility - Universal Fit

The 2M Series is designed for easy cartridge mounting, weight, and size to fit most common turntables today.

The 2M Series is available in four different product configurations: the 2M for the most common turntables on the market; the 2M Premounted for customers who wish for direct and easy mounting and replacement on their S-shaped tonearms; the 2M Verso for bottom-mount headshells; and the 2MR, designed with a cartridge housing tailored for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirements for low-form factor cartridges.

NOTE: All 2M Series styluses, coils, and magnets are not necessarily interchangeable.

The 2M Series' engines, coils, and magnet configurations are not identical. 2M series styli are interchangeable within the following combinations:

  • 2M Red, 2M Blue, and 2M Silver
  • 2M Bronze, 2M Black, and 2M Black LVB 250
  • 2M Mono and 2M 78

definitive and final statement
This is the definitive and final statement on marxian dialectical materialism. The best concise exposition that has been written on the subject.

I'd recommend it, especially at this give-away-price
As a sociologist, I was always interested as to how the USSR could morph what Marx considered communalism networked by a shallow, weak, centralized and supposedly representative government into what I would considered an extremest left-wing oligarchy (most fashionably consider it right-wing despite how it was sold and supported by the people that allowed it- so much for cultural relativity and in context social analysis!). If Stalin actually wrote these pieces (or more commonly among dictators farmed it out to a frightened academic ghostwriter) then it could help explain why Marx disassociated himself with much of the Marxist movement toward the end of his life. It is a logically written and well informed book - worth the read if you are into the sociology of politics, philosophy of politics or the history of politics. I'd recommend it, especially at this give-away-price!

Good book, mediocre edition
Format: Paperback
This review pertains to the quality of this edition's editing and construction, rather than the content of the book itself. Rest assured that the text itself remains a valuable piece of introductory theory. The book is fairly well constructed, with paper and a binding that is sturdy enough for general use. However, my copy had several manufacturing errors including folded over pages being stuck into the binding. In addition, there are several misspelled words throughout the text and some obvious typos (missing letters, incorrect capitalization and punctuation) that did not majorly impact the readability of the text, but were, nevertheless, annoying. Considering the low price of this edition the manufacturing errors are hardly a big deal, but I would have preferred the text itself to have been treated with more care and respect while being prepared for printing.

thoughts on Xi Jinping
Format: Kindle
This book was highly organized and very easy to comprehend. I have formed a much better understanding of Xi Jinping and where he is taking China. Although I feel he has been thoughtful and successful in some areas such as improving China economically, I don’t feel his autocratic approach will succeed in the long run when more Chinese people will demand to be heard. Just as Mao thought didn’t outlast Mao, Xi thought will not outlast Xi.
