Normally audio dealers don't permit to play with his new cartridges. Maybe if they have a demo sample, maybe.

@professorsvsu Fake news if I ever heard it. 2M body is not the same throughout the range. Not even close. Black and Bronze are significantly more advanced with better motors and silver plated coils.

The Ortofon 2M bodies are identical on the Red and Blue so you can upgrade a Red to a Blue with a stylus change. You can use a Bronze or Black stylus on a Red/Blue body but it will not perform at the level of an actual Bronze or Black. The Bronze and Black bodies are identical so you can fully upgrade a 2M Bronze to a Black with a stylus change.
