Additional Info
The Ortofon 2M Bronze pairs a Fine Line tip with the split-pole-pins engine and silver-plated copper coils. The presentation is refined and articulate, vocals sound notably natural, imaging stays precise and layered, and control holds through complex passages without aggression. Acoustic, jazz and vocal records on resolving systems reward it most. The stylus is user-replaceable and cross-compatible with the 2M Black and 2M Black LVB 250.
