The cartridge was packaged in a genuine Ortofon box with the reflective tamper resistant stickers and it came with the nuts and bolts. It took me about 20 minutes lining up the new cartridge just right and using a protractor and bubble level to ensure that the tonearm was completely parallel and balanced. Then, it was onto tweaking the tracking force. I set it at 1.5g, the recommended setting from Ortofon.
Once everything was adjusted correctly, it was time to take it for a spin.
Without exaggerating, I can honestly say it was a transcending experience. The sound is so much more open and pronounced, the voices are so much more clear, and the instruments play so much more isolated as they should. The tones of the voices are so much more richer and natural rather than synthetic. For reference, I compared my modern system's sound to the sound of an old school Technics stereo system with multiple components and it was really close. I can go on and on about this cartridge and all the beautiful sounds it's brought into my life, but I will end it here by stating I am absolutely ecstatic about my purchase and am definitely a new Ortofon devotee.
Now, as for the cartridge itself, it's great. Like many people, I upgraded from the OM5E and noticed a major improvement across the board, from the air, warmth, clarity, separation, any audiophile buzzword you can think of. The OM range delivers consistent improvement in each of its styli options. I am actually running the Stylus 20 right now and would again note a massive improvement over the 10.
One thing to note which isn't talked about as much is the improvement of the Super cartridge over the standard OM cartridge. I first went from the OM5E to the Stylus 20, but utilizing the normal body. I then put the Stylus 20 onto the Super OM body and immediately noticed an increased presence and definition of higher frequencies, as well as better separation across the entire spectrum. If I had to pick a word to describe the upgrade from Standard to Super, it's that it's livelier. It's been well noted how natural of a reproduction you get from the OM series, and the Super cartridge body accentuates that in a noticeable way.
Get this for the Super OM cartridge body and know that you'll have the latitude to upgrade your stylus to match any system that a reasonable person could want.
Now, it sounds nice - warm and precise. Mr. Jones' brushwork and delicate cymbal taps have an energy I haven't noticed for a while. I'm hearing ghost notes in his drumming I hadn't noticed before. Similarly, I hear the the finger plucking of Richard Davis' upright bass more than before.
I've also used the OM20, and it's even better. The OM series 20, 30, and 40 styli can also be used on thus cartridge body, and are all major upgrades to an already great sounding cartridge.
