Worth it from an OM5E
5 Stars
Worth it from an OM5E
TL;DR: Super OM10 provided an instant upgrade from my stock OM5E.Noticeable differences from OM5E:Clarity all over the spectrum. It seems like a more clear mid and treble stemming from a cleaned up low end. Low end still has punch though, which is good.Context for those who might be in similar situations: Turntable/Hifi novice here. While I liked the OM5E that came with my turntable, there was something lacking in the sound, and this seemed like a not too expensive way to see if going down the upgrade rabbit hole was worth it for me, and in case it was, I went with the super om10 cartridge (as opposed to just the om10 stylus) as it seemed like a better long term investment if I want to upgrade to a higher end stylus in the future. As noted above, I found it very much worth it, and the big factor I noticed was improved clarity.I attached a picture, because that will obviously inform this audio-based decision.
