My favorite 45:35 goosebumps

Outstanding score

Love that record ❤

Wrong song to make conclusions. "Woman sings along guitar" sounds good almost on any equipment. Try symphonic orchestra

29:50 my favorite to redemption

Honestly, both sound great. The Ortofon has maybe a bit more clarity in the high mids and highs, but considering the fact I have to actively look for the differences even though I'm listening to this with 500 € headphones tells me the price difference isn't really worth it for me :)

There is pretty much no difference other than price

This print awesome 😮 geniuses

No different !

en youtube no es pot apreciar pràcticament cap diferència...però l'ortofon blau te molt més baix i uns aguts més nets. Per a jo el punt fort, potser, de l'AT són els mitjos.

One of my absolute favorites :) thanks for sharing!

Beautiful, what a great version. No one could top Frank Sinatra.

Yes an absolute masterpiece 🎵

What I wonder is, how much of the sound is affected by KZbin? I don’t hear much difference (and I expected to). But how much of that do you hear in real life? I have the Blue on my turntable, and I can attest to the fact that Ortofon cartridges usually bring out more detail than Audio Technica cartridges do. So I don’t trust this particular test. I think the only way you’re going to find out which is better is to do the comparison in real life.

the sound quality It depends on what your reciever amp phono preamp, and speaker

I read some of the comments, but I don't know. First off I'm using an old set of headphones from Sennheiser called the 414 which was made in the analog era and tuned specifically for vinyl...because that's all there was when these were made! I am listening through a laptop which could be a sound card thing happening, but I don't think so. What I heard was with the 2M Blue her voice had a very slight grainy textured sound, which is the only way I can describe it, that disappeared with the AT it made her voice a tad smoother in texture. However, when it got to her doing the higher octave thing starting at 3:04 to 4:16 the AT sort of resonated whereas the Blue did not; but after that section is over it goes back to that grainy texture with the Blue. Instrumental-wise, I couldn't really hear any difference

is it tom scott?

So like....they're on one record or on different ones?

HEY THAT GUY DIDN'T PAY!

Cambié el cartucho y aguja a mi tornamesas por la AT-VM95E.... Una chulada como decimos en México. Fantástico! Y el precio asombrosamente bajo para la calidad que entrega.

Song appears in: space cowboys (2000) features clint eastwood, that's where i heard it from. And it might as well be swing (1962)

How do u tell by cover which version album cover you have like the color of the album. Looking to buy but seller doesn't know the album color since it's sealed

always thank you for this post. :) be healthy. :)

Blue sounds a bit more open. I own the 95e and for the price you can’t beat it!

I would go with the AT as it has more compatibility with more tonearms, whereas you might need to change the tonearm's height for the proper. VTA, and that's not a difficulty with the AT cartridge.

I heard comparisons between the vm95e and ortofan 2m red and 2m blue.. vm95e is clearly better than the 2m red (which was quite sibilant).. but the 2m blue achieves better clarity without giving up warmth or sounding sibilant.. but at greater than 4x the price, it is hard to see value... As others have mentioned, I think the VM95 with a better styles (nude/ml/shibata) could give ortofan blues the run for their money.. ive been debating a turntable option for my denon plus polk reserve setup, with budget up to 1k.. more i research, more im tilting towards the lp120x with at vm95e which is way inside budget but seems to give the best combination of value, aesthetics and upgradability.

You are comparing a bonded elliptic to a nude elliptic costing four times as much? The Ortofon 2M Blue should at least be compared to the VM95EN (or pricewise more accurate the VM530EN) The AT95E should face the Ortofon 2M Red. Or when it comes to pricing, take the VM520EB. That would be fair, don't you think? I do have the VM520EB, the VM540ML and a VM500 body with a Swiss Black Diamond nude elliptic made for the previous generation AT103--AT120. That Black Diamond is much brighter, yet NEEDS to be played in to soften the suspension. It sounds brighter than the VM520EB and VM540ML, so I don't use it at the moment, since I want to get used to the sound style of AT themselves. I also have the Technics EPC270c with both a standard bonded conical (bland) and a Black Diaomnd (exciting), those are fun to listen to and perfect for untrusted thrift store records. So I see this more as your upgrade story, not a direct comparison. My opinion.

Amazing score

Tom Gun - Top Cruise ❤️🛩

A better comparison would be the VM95EN vs the 2M Blue since both are nude ellipticals. The VM95E is a bonded elliptical like the 2M Red. I was thinking of getting a VM95EN-H but the lower output changed my mind. I'll go with the 2M Blue instead.

Audio sounds way better than lots of other test of same cartriges. What preamp have you used? Thanks

Wow thanks for potentially saving me money! I have the vm95 and was considering a Blue

I can't quite praise the choice of the recorded material for comparison as in my experience 2M Blue is a better cartridge by a considerable margin. Here the difference just does not show off. If we really want to compare the direct competitor to 2M Blue, it would be AT VM530EN, with essentially the same nude stylus profile and an upgraded generator on pair of that on 2M series (AT VM-95 series generator correspondents to Ortofon OM series generators in terms of quality).

The KZbin compression really does a number on these vinyl captures. The difference in this video is negligible, but I very highly doubt that would be the case in a live listening.

You just had to buy a VM95ML stylus.......

Similar cartridges, fairer comparison is with the nude diamond stylus fitted to the AT. The AT is smooth the 2m smooth but with a bit more punch. Both fine carts that are hard to beat sonically without spending up.

I don't hear any bass below 100 hz, how you capt this sound with a microphone ?

Unfair comparation, the blue should be compared with the shibata version of the AT

Less treble Range with the vm95e

gorgeous musical theme. R.I.P. Vangelis.:(

I think the question is whether is whether a bonded elliptical can challenge a nude elliptical, especially when factoring in price. Each person has to make that decision for themselves. I have the AT-VM95E and am hapy with it. If feel the need to upgrade, I'll get an AT-VM95EN stylus and call it a day.

Was eine Dynamik!!! Besser als jedes andere Upload von diesem Track.

I'll eventually buy the red or blue, but the 95E holds well. Just using some manual EQ to match them if you have one and you're off to the races

Having used the exact same cartridges i have to say that the blue 2m is way better than AT. When I first listened to the 2m I was surprisedof the sound!

Ortofon звучит полнее, но цена за Audio-technica.

This sounds waaaayyyy too good

Cool gemacht 😊

Geil

Nice comparison and to me they sound pretty close and I don’t have audio file ears I have the the VM95E and love it. Also love that you can change the stylus with all the cartridges. Great job on making this video and great editing and you played the whole song from 2 cartridges and seamlessly.

Nice turntable
