Key Features

  • The series is the lowest-mass range of moving magnet cartridges offered by Ortofon.
  • The OM cartridges bodies have been designed to provide easy mounting and alignment on both top mount and bottom mount headshells.
  • The OM 5 Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.

 

For more than 50 years, Ortofon has been designing and manufacturing Moving Magnet cartridges. Along with their well-regarded Moving Coil cartridges, Moving Magnet models have established a good reputation among music lovers and Hi-Fi enthusiasts the world over.

The new Ortofon OM 5 series encompasses three basic cartridges: OM 5S, OM 5E and Super OM 5E.

Optimal Fit and Sound Reproduction

If your tonearm has a standard headshell or a cartridge mount, then step up to optimal sound reproduction with OM’s. A glance at anyone of these cartridges will reveal Ortofon's answer to perfect tonearm matching. Ingeniously tucked into the top of the mounting bracket is a tiny, removable weight-plate.

If your tonearm is an standard tonearm, just leave the weight-plate. If your tonearm is one of the low mass types, then simply remove the weight. The mass of your OM cartridge is now a mere 2.5 g.

OM 5E features an Elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion.

Styli Types and Interchangeability

By adopting a wide range of replacement styli, the OM 5 Series can provide an optimum match for your home system, application and budget.

In the development of OM cartridges, a major objective was to provide the music lover with the opportunity to optimize sound reproduction without having to replace the entire cartridge. Instead of being merely intended for replacement purposes following wear or damage, the OM 5 Series allows you to step up to better sound by simply upgrading the stylus. Depending on your preference, styli for the OM 5 Series are easily interchanged and include: styli 3E, 5E, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 78 and D 25 M.

bottle baby kittens preferred this heartbeat to having warm snuggle safe heat disk
Ok... when I got this I thought.. "are you kidding me?" they are going to like this. Joke was on me. They love it. It is rhythmic and it is strong enough that it pulsates the area so all of them can feel it. They consistently would lay on top of the heart rather than in the area of their "crib" where the heat was.. and this was when they were still only a few days old! It works. So this is what you want to know. It beats continuously for about 4-5 days without needing a recharge. Recharge is fast and only takes a couple hours The button is slightly "inside" the unit so when it is placed upside down there is no way that it can accidentally be turned off. Which is great. If the button were on the upside in the pet space then a foot or body part of the little animal could turn it off inadvertantly. Design to put the button slightly inset is extremely important design feature - makes this excellent. When I turn it on I know it will be going as long as the battery still has charge. .   I don't think it is waterproof so I put it under the pee pad that I had under the blanket bedding and it was still easily heard AND felt. If not using a pee pad I would definitely put it in a small ziplock bag to protect from any leaked urine or liquids to keep it safe. When the kittens were done eating they would gravitate towards the heart beat... (with their eyes open or when they were still closed after birth it was the same response). This little gadget was a total lifesaver as it really calmed the kittens in ways I would not be able to. These pictures are of the trio that LOVED this.... Meet Zen (tabby M with white feet), Sugar (tuxedo F with white feet) and Rocket (ginger - M). All cisgender. they were about 3 days old when I got them to foster.. photos from arrival until about 3 weeks of age. Photo with q-tip is to give relative size on arrival. They will be up for adoption in Tustin CA in another 2-3 weeks time.

Fantastic!
The heart that came with Snuggle Puppy was a pain to replace the battery. This is the only rechargeable heart I could find searching online. I was a little concerned reading it’s a “frequently returned item.” But happy to say, we will not be returning this! It shipped charged and the heart is still beating non-stop days later! It’s sturdy and fits in the snuggle puppy perfectly. We have a tiny 17 yr old Chihuahua who never chewed anything up so it’s completely safe for her to enjoy. It helps with her anxiety. You can hear the beat in the video—it’s nice and loud and has a bit of a vibration. Our pup has been sleeping next to it every night. Very happy with this purchase. From reading reviews, I trust if we have an issue with it, their customer service will help. For now, it works! I really like that it has time options—can set it for 2 hrs of heart beating or non-stop.

Hit or miss
I bought two of them. One of the devices works great! Charges quickly and beats for days. The other lights up as if it were charging but never worked. Tried to charge three separate times. So I guess you take your chances.

Recommended by my chihuahua puppy!
Size: Small, Color: Waffle, Size: Small, Color: Waffle
This has been a fantastic toy for my chihuahua puppy. She actually carries it around by the tag and loves rolling it over with her nose. It's a little big for her, but she still really enjoys it. The tough edges are perfect for her little tiny shark teeth. I think she'll like this one even more as she begins teething. It's obviously an adorable toy and it has held up really well so far. It does have a loud squeaker if that's something your dog likes or dislikes. Mine doesn't have the jaw strength or size to squeak it, but she likes it when I do it. Considering what I paid and the many low quality toys on the market, this thing is a great value. Highly recommend it for toy and small breed dogs and puppies!
