Ortofon Factory Tour Celebrates Danish Company's 100th Anniversary 

Looking at this makes you truly respect and understand what these folks do! As a vinyl guy, I'm very happy these guys do what they do!

I will never again feel bad about paying higher dollar for a great cart. These people at Ortofon are fantastic. Just something special about some ( not all, p......) European manufacturers. Treat their employees great. Rega is another great one. Thanks.

My a95 is the best Cartridge I've ever heard...so this was WONDERFUL! Thank you Michael!

I have always been a supporter and buyer of Ortofon ever since the Mc 30 came on the market.

Enjoyed the video, thank you. I just purchased the 2m Blue (closer to what my pocket book could accept.) It is such a stunning reproduction of the sound. Thank You.

WOW! I learned so much! It is great to see all this behind the scenes stuff!

Support you.... Love you guys and ladies. Bless you all 🙏

Great video! Thanks Mike.

I’ve always enjoyed my Ortofon Cadenza Black cart. but I now have a new appreciation for the amount of care that goes into manufacturing these precision instruments. Initially it was hard for me to get over the sticker shock, but after seeing all of the steps involved and the equipment needed to produce these, I’m honestly surprised they can offer their carts. @ their current price points. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Such amazing precision and real people doing such skilled work

Absolute amazing! Thank you very much to take us with you. The video closed a lot of gaps I didn't understand how they produce the cartidges!

Love to see more of this kind of stuff. Great!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great tour! I own a Ortofon MC-3 Turbo that I use in my needle-drops on my channel that I've had for about a year and half now. I love the sound and it's about the lowest price MC cart that has a nude fine line stylus for great detailed sound.

Man, I sure missed your video's Michael fremer, love to see inside these factories and work places! Thank you for the upload!

At 13:56 the material looks great

The best cartridge needle out there 👍😎 thank you for DJ oh listing to your vinyl collection record

Dang the danish invented the stock market and now this?! Legendary

Great video! It's really interesting to see the manufacturing side of audio. Thanks for posting.

The 2M Black is my favorite MMC, it wasn't the best mate with my SME V...I still miss it though.

The nerd jokes made me smile. 😂

A really excellent video! I love your wit, a four axis CNC made by the Axis. It is wonderful to see how dedicated they are to the quality of their products and how gracious they were to allow open access to their facility. Perhaps next time you visit the name will be on the door, not that it matters.

How do the hide the bass?

wow

what is the first sample about sneaking into your room with records? would love to know where it's from

ya son los dos discos inteligentes

11:32 Ortofon Rep "Here we are making rubbers." Me: "Dont bother... I never use rubbers." 🤣😂😆

Very interesting. What was the guitar track near the end ?

Nice Rubbers at 11:59 ;-)

si logramos comunicarnos con el youtube lo podemos hacer y ya lo hicimos con el dvd

You LIKE MY JUBILEE 😁😁😁👍👍👍👍

I would like to see the Diamonds being made it's one thing I've not seen anywhere! is it done by machine or by Human the facing, is it just grown into the shape or is it ground by hand? I'm assuming they buy them in they don't make the diamond styli themselves. There is probably one company making it for every manufacture and it does have a bearing what type of diamond is it, not all Diamonds are equal in they're composite, in turn will affect resonance, something you should ask in the future what grade of diamond they use. there shouldn't be an issue using alcohol to clean the stylus it is an epoxy glue and alcohol doesn't dissolve epoxy resin or synthetic resin. getting it on the enamel coating of the wire might be a problem is probably why they advise against it. what type of wire is the coil, does anybody use triangular wire? was it silver or copper wire they were using. I would have thought they would have used sorbothane rubber! in the suspension! what is known for its dampening properties acoustically instead of just plain old rubber don't want to pay the royalties maybe!! what is not so great acoustically. I would have thought it'd be better to inject some expanding open cell foam into the counter lever ends not sure if anybody does this. Can you do an experiment for me Michael, I might have asked I've asked so many people some people say they do it and never get back to me or they never reply. I think the 92 degree angle is wrong! should be set at 88 degrees, you are riding the style the same on 88° as 92° but I believe you will get better results less jitter between the surface of the record and the styli, intern more detail cleaner sound better blacks plus less where to the vinyl. the only issue is depends on the length of arm and type of cartridge you got that the back end maybe!! a bit close to the record surface. you will need to lower the tone arm at the back about 4 mm dependent on the length of arm and your need to increase the weight to its maximum maybe because gravity not in your favour, in turn has a benefit in itself creating less mass on the tonearm. Could you try out Michael and let me know what the results are thanks! try a sibilance test with a test record would be the best test a before and after.

que los ingenieros capten las ideas de las personas para futuras invenciones asi como hay conectores habidos y por aber

👍👍

10:53 Is that the Pro-Ject boss man..?

After perusing countless forums chalk-full of self-appointed experts, dogmatic opinion and ill-founded certainty, it sure is nice to watch people who actually know what they are doing going about the business of creating the products we 'seem to know' so much about. :)

lo que escuche es que los dos discos son interactivos

Real Hi Fi I never new that robots made them That groove will always be " MAGIC " Digital is like a middle man , who needs it its spread too far Digital will not work without Analog platform sound wave , Digital is just an argument . Groove , Stylus & Speaker " MAGIC " Records & Tapes I still use them today ! always will be

yo hice una prueba conecte un cd a un zonda en auxuliar y se escucho bien

soy ingeniero y los reciver tienen muchas entradas o fuentes el rca es analogo

dejen que el cliente elija entre cd o disco porque hay mucha produccion

Factory tours, annoying for the workers but interesting for the viewers.

Why didn't you express your negative feelings about their concord range?

When you see this audio equipment being made along with the complexity of it , the bitch factor about high price comes down a bit ....

And excuse me why are they in the DARK?

The thumbs down is from my decade plus troll imbecile Carl Engebretsen. He’s fixated on me and hates vinyl but can’t stay away....

Really cool video I was going to say the employees are getting distracted by the tourists and could make mistakes then I was the woman with the Long blue and gold finger nails 🙄🙄 she can't be very productive with those dagger's on her fingers! It's like the Wolverine trying to be a heart surgeon while his spikes are out.

Bee you tee full

Actually, if there were no women, there'd be no humans. But "technically" there might be no manufacturering as well. We'd never really know because we wouldn't exist. So there's that...

TESLA Litovel

I would be annoyed as all hell having tourists at the work place. I wouldn't be able to concentrate at all.

Is it me, or does anyone else find find Michael Fremer a bit obnoxious?
