"The Deft 2 is wonderful. I still love the sound of it and have it mounted in my one and only head shell." - Jim Fosgate

LP Gear introduces the Harmonic Opulence DEFT 2 phono cartridge, a performer of remarkable simplicity and genius. The nomenclature says it all. In harmony with music, it sounds organic and real as music played in real time and space.

In his extensive review of the DEFT 2 in Dagogo, Phillip Holmes concludes that he can't imagine better sound at the price.¹

The LP Gear Harmonic Opulence (HO) series of cartridges offer extraordinary performance, exemplary value, natural tone and musicality in a simple package.They are fitted for half-inch tonearms. Each is meticulously crafted. Stringent quality control assures that tolerances and performance criteria are maintained for each product. As in other series within the LP Gear magnetic phono cartridge range, your investment in an entry level cartridge does not become obsolete. When your appreciation of music and critical listening develop and your demands for sophisticated electronics grow, you can easily and sensibly upgrade performance by installing a better stylus within the series.
