It is based on 2M Black, the flagship of the MM cartridge "2M" series. It is the embodiment of Hi-Fi, with a solid diamond Shibata needle and a coil of pure silver-plated high-purity copper wire, boasting extremely high resolution and a wide range befitting the flagship of the 2M series. In order to surpass this 2M Black, the LVB 250 uses boron for the MM type cantilever for the first time in Ortofon history, and the damper rubber has also been newly developed. This gives it the transient characteristics (speed of rise and fall of sound) that are similar to those of a high-end MC cartridge. The sound is so fast and natural that it overturns the concept I had of the sound of MM cartridges. Of course, this unit's specialty is not limited to classical music. With overwhelming resolution, range, dynamic feeling, and speed of sound, it picks up only the music, preserving the tones that composers and performers intended to express. Introducing the ultimate MM cartridge worthy of the name "Rakusei".
