VPI SUPER PRiMe turntable at UPScale Audio

It’s the bronze mm of my friend that got me into vynil,...

The bronze is a well balance cartridge.I like the bass that produced.

The convenient thing about the 2M's is if you get the Bronze and down the road you need (or want) to replace your stylus you can swap out the Bronze with the Black in seconds.

Rushfan71 very very true, from bronze to black , I started from red to blue. Iam thinking eithe Sumiko Songbird or Hana S for SSP tt.

Jay if you are leaning that way, Upscale has the Sumiko Blackbird on sale for $999 before Ken gives you your discount for buying the table.

It’s normally $1249 and also available in high or low output like the Songbird.

It’s seems one of the main differences is that the Black Bird has a Boron cantilever as well as a "special hand ground elliptical" vs elliptical.

It’s also one of "Uncle Kevvy Fave’s"

Hahahaha....

The Hana S has a Shibata stylus which has much more complete groove contact than an elliptical.
