I'm at work at the moment ( don't tell my boss ! ), does any one know or can anyone measure the height of a Ortofon OM series cartridge like the 5e, 10,20,30 etc. It's the tip of the stylus to 1/2mounting face i'm after.

Thanks for help!
 
Uncle Ants thanks for that appreciated. I now realize you are in fact Needles and Spins:D.

You maybe able to help me further;)

I'm looking to change the Cartridge on my little project debut III usb phono. As I guess your aware the arm offers little adjustment.
Would an Ortofon Red MM be a good choice? Are they the roughly same height ( i'm thinking VTA here ) and would it align okay etc.?

Many thanks, Rob.

The height is identical. It'll fit fine. If it were me though I'd probably just replace the stylus with an OM20 stylus and save the hastle of fitting and aligning.

Well its about the same price and is probably closer to the Blue in terms of tracking ability. The OMs are a bit less bright than the 2Ms ... or a bit more laid back, depending on your taste and bias.
