Ortofon Aftersales Services

To support our customers, who have accidentally damaged their cartridges or customers who have an out-of-warranty Moving Coil cartridge, Ortofon offers Special Repair and Exchange service

Exchange service for Moving Coil cartridges

Styli in Moving Coil cartridges are non-replaceable. To support our customers, who have accidentally damaged their cartridges or customers who have an out-of-warranty Moving Coil cartridge, Ortofon offers an Exchange service. We take cartridges in any condition back regardless of where the cartridge purchase originally took place.

Exchange service applies to a wide range of Moving Coil cartridges, both vintage and current models, although with reservation for the models which we no longer have components for.

How the Exchange Service works: we offer the customer to buy back their cartridge for 25% of the current price list provided that the customer will buy a new Ortofon cartridge, either equivalent or better model.

Exchange Service is available through Ortofon Authorised HiFi Dealers pursuant to the purchase of a new cartridge. If you should have the need for this service, please contact your local Ortofon Authorised HiFi Partner.

NB: Neither Moving Magnet nor SPU cartridges are included in the Exchange program.
We offer Special Repair Service for the SPU models.
Moving Magnet models can be serviced by replacing the stylus.
