I have a bog standard Project turntable with the supplied Ortofon om 5e cartridge and recently have rediscovered the quality of the sound of records versus cd.

As I am enjoying my records again is it worth me upgrading to the Ortofon om10 or even further?

I dont want to invest in a new arm but if a stylus upgrade will futher improve the reproduction of my records then my credit card is ready and willing!

Thanks
 
I did it - I went from a OM5e to OM10 on a Project Debut - and I think it's a great improvement

After all the OM10 stylus is only a few quid more than the OM5e stylus - and well worth it.

I asked folks here if they thought it was worth going for the OM20 or beyond - and they said not on a debut.

Enjoy your music...
 
I've just this weekend changed my 5E for an Ortofon 2M Red, which is a great improvement. I don't know what the OM10 costs but I paid £72 for the Red. I thought about the Blue but that was twice the price and the Henley chap I spoke to reckoned I'd probably be better off putting that sort of money towards a better turntable. I can always get the Blue stylus at a later date if I want as the cartridge bodies are apparently the same (the stylus is still about £120 though...).
 
Thanks guys for your replies.

Looks like its well worth while going for the OM10 as it will help to improve things and not break the bank!
