When you move up to the 2M Blue, it's all about the diamond! The benefit you hear with this is pretty big. Just about everything related to the sound is improved. You’ll hear many more tiny little details in the music and it will seem more effortless and open. Our advice is if you have a table with a 2M Red, buy the 2M Blue stylus either now or when it's time to replace it. You will be very surprised at the difference just a Nude elliptical stylus can make!
The 2M Blue adds more dynamics and resolution, sounds more open, and reproduces more details compared to the 2M Red model.
- An improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5 mV and optimized sound reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy.
- Nude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with copper wire.
- The cartridge body is manufactured from Hopelex, an environment-friendly material that ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.
