Thank you for this really interesting video, made with a lot of love to explain in detail the technical and physical details. It becomes clear to the viewer the precision with which the first and probably most important link in the analog vinyl playback chain was built and works - I love it
I have always wondered about what kind precision the cartridges are manufactored with. Yes, we know about the various profiles of the cartridge tips that excist but with what precsion are it all mounted together? All these instructions about how to setup a cartridge, often is related to sighting angles, even from the housing of the cartridge. Must be some large faults possible there! Judging angles by eye is a very crude way... Do we know about the precision during the record cutting process or how well it is setup?
Hi, a question that I could so far not answer to myself is how the interface of the armature to the magnetic system can mechaically work. Can the armature be just be pulled out of the damping system (20:56) and is so to say sticked into the damping system? Or how is the stylus held back and prevented from falling from the damping system? This is not glued, right? Or is there a metal pin going through the whole suspension which is finally attached to the rear pole piece? Maybe a better way to ask that question: what element carries the weight pressing on the needle? Is it the suspension element or the pin from behind? If the weight is carried from the pin from behind I ask myself how it is achieved that the rotation point is exactly between the coils, where you (ideally) want it to be. Because you want to avoid parallel/ tangential movement, as it is not at all paying into signal height.
Where can I get p mount Ortofon stuff like an OMP10 or 20 Cartridge, and then a 20 or 30 stylus. Seems to be much confusion in the market about p mount and manufacturers current level of support. I think I will buy only p mount and use adapter's for different mountings / tonearms to avoid this incompatibility going forward. Thanks.
Danke für die Erklärungen.
Awesome, I learned so much :) exciting technology 😊
Fascinating , really enjoyed learning this.

Thank you Ortofon. I use 2M Red. Only positive emotions.
Amazing! Thank you for your effort! Great explanation of high level of technic!

thanks for this clear and clevers explanations
Thank you for a very informative video
Bravo Ortofon ! You have excellent cartridges and deep scientific research. And therefore - a great sound. Thank you and further success!
Fantastic Video, well explained! Thank you for that
Approximately how long should we expect the life of the dampening rubber inside the cartridge?
Thank you for making these videos, very instructive and interesting.
Thank you - we are glad you like them!
Excellent. Thanks.
So that FSE is silver plated. When stored for a long time, is there a risk that the silver starts to oxidize?

Great sir 👌👌👌👍
