Jay as far as the 2M Bronze, it has 5.5mv output and a nude fine line stylus.
The Black and the Bronze have the same magnet and coils the only difference is the Black has a Shibata stylus and I think sounds a little more full bodied and more forgiving of surface noise.

I use a Manley Chinook phonostage.
I set it at 40db of gain for the 2M's.

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.
