Why I chose the Ortofon 2M Blue over the 2M Bronze. Audiophile comparison 

I had all 4 and the black is the best and super quite

Great explanation of the 2m series problems.

I had the Bronze for a few months, ran it on a Thorens with the Rega RB300 arm into a McIntosh MA6200 into some Harbeth speakers. It was way to harsh and digital sounding to my ears. Maybe on a less resolving system it sounds fine by on my set up it was horrible. One or two albums was more then enough ona y given night. I installed the Blue because I was selling the Table and couldn’t believe how much warmer and smooth it sounded. Mixing and matching gear is so crucial. Your ears will tell you. 👍

Thanks for this - good to know what’s possible. I have the 2M Black which came with my turntable so I am wondering where I go once I need to replace it. Hmm…

Please make more videos like this! I love how you discuss what you’re talking about. It’s informational and chill. Would love to hear more about the equipment you use and your musical taste.

I got the 2 m red I wanted the naigota np 110 but was $40 more I really wanted it but needed Christmas for kids I love it I also have a monolith turn table that I paid $85 for at a pawn shop using a Yamaha amp that I got for free with jbl speakers I got from a movie theater remodel they were free and I use a 10 channel eq from a pawnshop that was $8 I did get a acrylic mat and a record weight $35 bucks so for my stylist being the most expensive thing I bought for my stereo system it’s awesome but I would love to have a chance to listen to other systems

Ortofons pricing is crazy as well the price jump is outrageous .Blue is as high as ill ever go .

Paul, this is a nice video. I appreciate your honest opinion no the Otofon 2M series of stylus'. I purchased the Fluance RT 85 which came stock with 2M Blue and absolutely love it. I have thought about moving up to the Bronze but have heard that it needs to be mounted differently from what the RT 85 tone arm can adjust too. So, I will probably just stick with the blue. Thank you again for your video.

Excellent presentation. More content, please. I love hearing the opinions of folks who've actually used the products they review and discuss.

Interesting. I have the blue so I feel good about that now. My brother has the bronze but it’s a totally different setup than mine. Thanks

I found this video very helpful.

Thank you, great video!

Paul, thanks a lot! Wish you do more videos on your experience with cartridges and turntables.

Thanks for the video! I love my 2m blue on my Technics 1200mk2

Interesting stuff 👍

Sounds logical to me.. I'll ens upo replacing the stylus on the red with a blue eventually, and keep the red stylus insert for use with older / used records in less pristine condition. Sounds like good reasoning on your opinion. Thanks for the compare.

And although the manufacturer claims that the bronze stylus can only be replaced in the upper segment (black), has anyone tried to put bronze in a blue 2m cartridge? And what are the results?🤔

I am inclined to think nude is always better than bonded.
