NEW AND UPDATED ORTOFON ACCESSORIES FOR VINYL
Ortofon has updated its range of vinyl accessories with some new versions of old favourites.
These will be available through Henley Audio’s dealer network in the UK.
ORTOFON RECORD STABILIZERS
Ortofon’s record stabilizers are once again available, now in two new versions, standard and heavy. Completely redesigned and engineered, Ortofon’s new Record Stabilizers offer an elegant and unique aesthetic as well as easy-to-use functionality. No preparations are needed, just place the record stabilizer on the record before playback, and experience, say Ortofon, “improved playback with reduced vibration”. They stabilizers are made of aluminium with a felt underside and come in a premium satin matte anodized finish, in silver or black, with Ortofon textured wave-grip.
The Standard version for entry-level and sub-chassis turntables is 240g and the Heavy version for premium, high-end, and direct drive turntables is 350g.
ORTOFON CARTRIDGE ALIGNMENT TOOLS
Ortofon has also introduced two new alignment tools. The standard version of their Cartridge Alignment Tool has been updated, and a Premium Cartridge Alignment tool has been developed as well. Ortofon’s Premium Cartridge Alignment Tool is a larger and 75% more rigid version than standard, and it features high-visibility printing for better ease of use.
The Cartridge Alignment Tools feature two zero points Baerwald alignment, for optimal tracking performance and accurate playback.
