OrtofonVNL Triple Play with 3 Styli

A combination of excellent price, great sound performance, and multiple styli included makes this a home run for any beginner/basement dj imo. As mentioned in the q&a section, there are better carts for sound quality, but i think ortofon really hit the nail hereMy only complaint is the cart does ride pretty close to the vinyl. But otherwise, this is my go to recommendation for beginners/non-pros

So I own two Shure M447s that have seen better days, Ortofon OM Qberts, and a pair or Ortofon OM Pro S'. These Ortofon VNLs are great DJ needles and sound very good. They track well and work like a dream out of the box. I'm using the "2" needle which it comes with, but it's nice that you have two extra needle changes in the box with it. I mainly use Serato DVS, but I do spin analog vinyl as well. On analog vinyl they definitely sound better than my M447s. and the output rating isn't really a big deal. They are plenty loud and offer a nice clarity and sound profile throughout the ranges. I highly recommend this needle, especially to DJs, but even just for easy listening they would work well. L8r!

This is an excellent cartridge period. I love it. I am a turntable guy whether real vinyl or dvs control vinyl. These are excellent. Mine came with 3 different needles/styli. I, II, & III. Each have their own characteristics.The difference is in the cantilever flexibility/stiffness. This is a great value for the money.

I wanted to keep using old-style cartridges so I could keep using the Technics headshells, so I had been trying to keep some old Stanton and Shure cartridges working with knock-off (Jico, etc) stylii. But things never really worked right, and I was about to give in and go for one of the space-needle-looking Ortofon DJ cartridges. Luckily I waited long enough, and Ortofon released this cartridge. It's a great deal, stable enough for my unskilled scratching, and they sound much better than the knock-off stylii what I've been using recently as well. I had some bassy electronic singles that just weren't playing properly with the knock-off stylii, but they sound good as new with the VNLs.

Amazing replacement for the M447. Used them for many years and finally got these. They are legit in performance and quality. Output is a bit lower. That’s really it! Highly recommend!

This was a great deal when $99. Price has gone up twice recently which is disappointing. Came to buy another as a back up and inching its way to double in price.

The music sounds great and cartridge is good with the three needles. The separation of the music is very good and very clear.

Great value since it comes with 3 styli with different levels of stiffness. However I suppose most dj’s will stick with the one they prefer so really two will probably sit in the box unless there’s an emergency. Sound quality is acceptable. Similar to the shure M447 but seems a little quieter with a little less harshness on the bass and high end.

Excelente aguja, la uso para scratch y se mantiene estable no brinca tan fácilmente, además viene con 3 repuestos

ユーチューブやらネットの話…最悪なのは量販店のオーディオ専門の評価ですよ。駄目だって言うのね。コレはDJ系ですからって。で…リスクを感じながらも購入しました。シェルはオルトフォンのsh-4、リードワイヤーはオルトフォンのLW-3C。普通に試聴したのはU2のヨシュアツリー。音は素晴らしいまではいかないが満足です。駄目なのはＯＭシリーズかな…でもコレはDJ用とうたうのは理解できますから。オーディオテクニカの針の方が酷い…昔のVM針はよかった。で昔のオルトフォンのMMはたいした事なくてね。コンコルドの流れはオーディオ用には向いてないかも。ＯＭシリーズのSuper 5Eはまぁまぁです。それでもやはりオメガが安くて良かった。こわごわでもコレはＯＭシリーズとは違いVNLはちゃんと音楽を聴かせますね。その後2M REDを購入しました。もちろん力差ははっきりしてますが…そんなに負けてないです。今のアナログブームってアナログ耳が出来てない人相手のエグい商売だと本当に思いますね。買って良かったMM針・オルトフォン 2M RED・オルトフォン オメガ・rega carbon MM・オーディオテクニカVM95Ｅ・オルトフォン VNL(３つ入り)でかすね。MM針はシェルでかなり変わってくるのでここ辺りが肝かなと思う。

私は実に20年ぶりくらいにアナログ装置を買いそろえたものですが、テクニカのAT-LP3搭載のカートリッジに物足りないものを感じて買ってみました。私の世代にとっては、オルトフォンといえばMCのイメージがありました。このカートリッジ、みかけは安っぽいですが、実力はなかなかだと感じました。高域端に、まるで周波数特性がＣＤよりさらに伸びているかのようにすら錯覚させる、絹ごしの倍音成分のようなものを感じさせてくれるのがすごいと思います。

バランス良く、エネルギー感を感じる。

フォノイコを新調していろいろ試行錯誤中ですが、MM的な面白さ抜群で、MCの音がつまらなく感じるほど。M44Gよりは低域の広がりもいいし、高音の繊細さも勝る。何よりもいいのは３種類のコンプライアンスの異なる交換針がついていること。Ⅰは柔らかくていわゆるトラッカビリティが高い、音は柔らかい。Ⅱ、Ⅲ、と逆に硬くなっていくということです。私はⅢが少し音がうるさい感じに聞こえるぐらいで、微妙な差に思えました。交換針２個付きでこの性能なら、、、買いでしょう。
