Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black
I have mastered and am able to control photons of light. I can stand in front of a mirror and not see a reflection if I choose. And there is absolutely no noise at all while this is happening. 
Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black
tubelvr1, if you put a 2M black cartridge on your table and it's properly set up you will get much better sound than you are getting with the blue cartridge. I subscribe to the philosophy of Andy at Vintage Tube Services: "I would much rather have... 
The Science of Cables
I agree with michaelgreenaudio with regard to "experience." I have several times over the years encountered people in work environments and in other situations in which someone professes "twenty five years experience in (fill in the blank") and th...

You mean, in other words don't do it? 
Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black
I would never buy a used cartridge unless I knew the person I was buying it from. 
Ortofon 2M Bronze
Not according to Ortofon site. They say the bronze and black are ok to switch but none of the lower end models. I get contrary response on the other thread about this.....guess that guy thinks he knows more than the manufacturer of the device. Thi... 
Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black
I will stick with what the Ortofon engineers have published; you buy the ticket and take the ride. chakster states I have no idea what I'm talking about "no matter what the Ortofon site says" and then refers to a comparison chart from the Ortofon ...

Ortofon 2M Bronze

Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black
Ortofon’s site says the black stylus can be swapped into a bronze body but does not mention any other swap. You need to be wary of NOS old cartridges; the stylus suspension can / will deteriorate and become stiff over time. 
Top Ten "Reasons I Don't Like This Component"
I don't particularly like the way my amplifier and CD remotes rattle if you shake them. The buttons are steel bearings and the casings are also steel. Only four bearings on the amp unit (power, vol up, vol down, mute) but there's 24 bearings on th... 
Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black
chakster I do not know if it's physically possible to switch a blue stylus with the black stylus. I just would not do it. Besides, the cost of the black stylus is within 200$ of the cost of the entire cartridge (stylus 570$, cartridge with stylus ...
