Glad I finally got some replacements. Can confirm it fits Mk5, Mk2 1200's
Coming from MC cartridges this is my first MM cartridge the quality of this mid range cart surprised me .
I believe you could be happy staying with blue no need to move up the range .
After putting off updating my 30 year Michelle turntable, RB 300 arm with AT 0C9 cartridge to the Technics SL-1210GR.
I was surprised just how well isolated this turntable is from vibrations and resonances . Coming from a fully suspended belt drive table, the amazing sound quality plus direct drive & ease of use is just a bonus. Totally happy with this product and the service from mix foundation.
I recently bought the Ortofon 2m Bronze from Mix Foundation. Phillip couldn't have been more helpful in the pre-purchase decision-making process, even going as far as consulting his Ortofon rep about compatibility with my vintage turntable and tonearm.
The product is still bedding-in but has already shown far greater depth and separation in the sound stage.
Couldn't be more pleased!
Lighter, seemingly stronger and looks like it will last longer than the official covers (less brittle)
