Totally recommend the 2M black stylus. If you already have 2M Bronze, it’s a simple task to switch. It’s a serious upgrade from the bronze which does great job though, especially in the highs and mid range. The black stylus however, really captures what is left for perfection, especially the tonal balance, left and right stereo image etc. As this is written, the stylus is still on break-in stage, even at that point, I’m fully satisfied. Many of my albums sound almost like first time listening…. Surely, better than many MC pickups out there. Outstanding quality, as expected from Ortofon.
