Ok thanks for this information.
Ortofon 2M Bronze
Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade my current Ortofon SIlver stylus to the Bronze stylus. The Silver is made specifically for the Pro Ject Classic turntable i purchased last year. It would be around $440.00 to purchase the entire new Bronze cartridge. Just would like to save a little cash if possible. Thanks, Boogerhead.

The 2m Bronze and Black use a different magnet structure than the Red and Blue. If the Silver is similar to the Red and Blue, then the Bronze stylus will not be a premium match to your Silver. The 2m Red is a bonded elliptical diamond stylus, the Blue is a nude elliptical. Is your Silver one of these stylus? If so it's probably a rebadged Red or Blue. |
@mjcmt Where did you get that information ? What do you mean by different magnet? Please read this thread on Steve Hoffman forum and read feedbacks from people who swap the styli on any 2M series which you think are incompatible (that's not true). |
I gave you a link, it has nothing to do with the magnets, it's about cartridge inductance and the difference is so little that you will hardly notice.
The difference is cartridge inductance (700mH for Blue and 630mH for Bronze), 1db higher channel separation for Bronze and 0.5mV higher output for Blue.
The ortofon only recommend to use them like that, but it's not mandatory and there are people who use Blue on Black for example. |
