The 2M Black is Ortofon’s best moving magnet cartridge from a company that has been making phono cartridges longer than just about any other. The 2M Black has the same engine, body, and wiring as the 2M Bronze but with a highly polished Shibata diamond. It is very revealing of what is in the grooves, it hides nothing. It also needs to be set up very well from an azimuth standpoint to get the best performance out of it. If you want to stay with a moving magnet and extract every ounce of music you can from the grooves, the 2M Black is a wonderful choice.
