The 78 RPM Renaissance Starts Here
Your grandfather's jazz 78s aren't just historical artifacts—they're sonic time capsules containing performances that never made it to LP. The Ortofon 2MR 78 represents the key to this vault, featuring a proper 3.0mil spherical stylus that sits correctly in the wider grooves of shellac records. This isn't a modified stereo cartridge—it's purpose-built for the unique requirements of 78 RPM playback, from the different groove dimensions to the varied equalization curves used before RIAA standardization.
The "R" designation solves Rega's eternal headache: standard Ortofon cartridges sit too tall for Rega arms, requiring spacers that compromise rigidity. This low-profile version drops right in, maintaining perfect VTA without modifications. The overstock pricing on this new-in-box unit means accessing your 78 collection costs less than a single rare pressing.
Engineering for Shellac
• 3.0mil Spherical Stylus: Correct profile for 78 RPM grooves
• High Output: 5.5mV works with any MM phono input
• Low-Profile Body: Direct fit for Rega tonearms
• Reduced Tracking Force: 1.75g preserves fragile shellac
• Mono Summing: Reduces surface noise on vintage records
Your Gateway to Hidden History
This brand-new 2MR 78 transforms dusty 78s into revelatory musical experiences. Whether discovering pre-war blues, big band broadcasts, or classical recordings from the acoustic era, this specialized cartridge reveals why collectors treasure these brittle discs. Overstock pricing makes this the perfect time to explore the dawn of recorded music. Contact now to unlock your 78 RPM treasures.
