Ortofon 2M Bronze vs 2M black any difference?

Hey everyone. I was wondering whats the difference between the Ortofon 2M Bronze which I have been using on the systemdek. And upgrade it to a 2M Black for my new rp8. Is there much of a difference in the two or should a guy stick to the 2M Bronze? My Preamp is a cary audio slp-98p Class A all tube phono and a cary CAD120s power amp and totem speakers. Let me know your thoughts/experiences.

The difference is in the stylus.  The Bronze uses a Nude Fine Line with a frequency response of 20-29K Hz and the Black uses a nude Shibata with a response up 31K Hz.  Other than this, every other spec the same.

Whether you can hear a difference would be up to you.

For the VTA issue. But dose the 2m black have different internal wiring I thought it was only the styles was the only change.
