Ortofon 2MR Black LVB 250
MM Cartridge
(Made in Denmark)
The 2MR Black LVB 250 upgrades the great build of the 2M Black with a boron cantilever and our very own Nano Tube suspension system. The result is a sound so precise and so detailed that you feel like you have let the artist into your house and have them playing right in your living room.
The Ortofon 2MR features a specially designed cartridge housing tailored for turntables and tonearms like Rega, matching their requirement for low-form factor cartridges.
The 2M Black is an amazing cartridge and, by many, considered the ultimate in moving magnet. So, why would we attempt to create something even better? Because perfection runs in our blood. The 2MR Black LVB 250 upgrades the great build of the 2M Black, and the result is a sound so precise and so detailed that you feel like you have let the artist into your house and have them playing right in your living room.
The 2M Black LVB 250 upgrades the great build of the 2M Black with a Nude Shibata diamond on a boron cantilever. The use of an extremely stiff and lightweight Boron cantilever adds remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness.
The Nude Shibata stylus’ slim, highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum, including even the highest frequencies.
The 2M Black LVB 250 features our very own Nano Tube suspension system. The new rubber compound formula is based on the Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes' (MWCNT) highly efficient nano filler. The new MWCNT-based compound offers desirable mechanical properties, which ensure better damping and improve the overall performance of the cartridge.

The fair AUD market price for a new Ortofon 2MR Black LVB 250 Phono Cartridge (MM) is approximately $1,619, reflecting consistent current listings from multiple Australian retailers, down from a regular price of $1,799 (a 10% discount). No used market data appears in recent listings, so used prices cannot be reliably estimated but would typically range 20-40% lower ($970-$1,295) depending on condition, play hours, and included accessories, based on standard high-end audio cartridge depreciation patterns.
### Typical Price Range
| Condition | Price Range (AUD) | Notes |
|-----------|-------------------|-------|
| New | $1,619 - $1,799 | Sale price $1,619 across Audio Trends, Vinyl Revival, Lenc, and Custom HT; regular RRP $1,799. |
| Used | $970 - $1,295 (est.) | No direct listings; conservative estimate assumes good condition with low stylus hours (stylus lifetime up to 1,000 hours). |
### Key Factors Affecting Value
- Condition and Usage: New units with full warranty command premium; used value drops with stylus wear, as replacement stylus costs ~€899 (~$1,500 AUD).
- Variant: 2MR slimline version for Rega turntables priced identically to standard.
- Limited Edition Status: LVB 250 commemorates Beethoven's 250th anniversary, potentially supporting stable resale value.
- Retailer Promotions: Current 10% sales are widespread, but prices may rise to RRP post-promotion.
- Market Availability: High demand for this upgraded MM cartridge (boron cantilever, Nude Shibata stylus) with Australian warranty emphasizes new pricing.
Prices are stable based on 2026 Australian retailer data; international MSRPs (~€999) convert to ~$1,600-$1,700 AUD but local listings set the market.
