The Ortofon Stylus 5E is a genuine replacement stylus for a broader range of Ortofon moving magnet cartridges than the spherical 5S — covering the OM 5E, Super OM 5, OMP 5E, OMB 5E, and OMT 5E models — letting owners of any of these cartridges restore full performance without buying a new cartridge. Its elliptical tip, with an 8/18 micron radius, generally tracks record grooves more precisely than a spherical stylus, contributing to a full 20Hz-20kHz frequency response and solid tracking ability rated at 60 microns at 315Hz. Recommended tracking force sits at 1.75 grams within a 1.5-2.0 gram range, matching the specs of the cartridges it's designed to fit. Customers who've installed it report straightforward setup and reliable performance once fitted. Like the Stylus 5S, this exact part is currently unavailable for purchase, so buyers should confirm stock with Ortofon or a dealer, or check compatibility against their specific cartridge model, before assuming it's ready to ship.
Q What is the Ortofon Stylus 5E and what is it used for?
It's an elliptical replacement stylus for several Ortofon OM-series cartridges — the wearable part of the cartridge that you swap out when the original stylus wears down, rather than replacing the whole cartridge.
Q Which cartridge models is it compatible with?
The OM 5E, Super OM 5, OMP 5E, OMB 5E, and OMT 5E.
Q What is its stylus profile and recommended tracking force?
An elliptical stylus with an 8/18 µm tip radius, recommended for tracking at 1.75g (within a 1.5-2.0g range).
Q What is its frequency response and compliance?
A frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz (±3dB), with a dynamic lateral compliance of 20 µm/mN and a tracking ability of 60 µm at 315Hz.
