Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver


I'm a fan of moving magnet cartridges and the new ORTOFON 2M BLACK has caught my attention.
I was wondering if the Ortofon would be suitable in either a Graham 1.5, a Rega 300/1000 or an Origin LIve Silver. I like the idea of the Graham, but I'm not sure of the compliance issues and the overall match. Your thoughts?

i recently read a review comparing the bronze w/the black & it was not complimentary to the bronze. it said it was not as some cartridges in a line similar to each other w/the black offering more extended range but had different sound. since i have not had the pleasure of hearing either cartridge but being interested in the price point of the bronze, it did not make me want to go out and buy one. an ortofon dealer i spoke to was not a fan of the black feeling it was kind of analytical in sound compared to the clearaudios.

anyone have thoughts on the om40 or 540mkII compared to the bronze or the black?
