Brand: Ortofon
The Ortofon FF-15 E is a design feature on the edge of the diamond stylus on certain Ortofon moving magnet cartridges. FF stands for Floating Free and refers to the way the stylus is mounted to the cantilever. The E stands for Elliptical, indicating that this particular FF stylus has an elliptical profile. The Floating Free design aims to eliminate unwanted resonance that can affect the overall sound quality. By separating the stylus from the cantilever with a tiny air gap, the FF-15 E design theoretically reduces two points of resonance, resulting in a clearer, more detailed sound reproduction with improved micro-dynamics. This technology is used in Ortofon's entry-level to mid-range MM cartridges, including the OM Series, Cadenza Bronze, and 2M Series, offering better performance and value for money at an affordable price point.
