Ortofon 2M Bronze


Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade my current Ortofon SIlver stylus to the Bronze stylus.  The Silver is made specifically for the Pro Ject Classic turntable i purchased last year.  It would be around $440.00 to purchase the entire new Bronze cartridge. Just would like to save a little cash if possible.  Thanks, Boogerhead.

The 2m Bronze and Black use a different magnet structure than the Red and Blue. If the Silver is similar to the Red and Blue, then the Bronze stylus will not be a premium match to your Silver. The 2m Red is a bonded elliptical diamond stylus, the Blue is a nude elliptical. Is your Silver one of these stylus? If so it's probably a rebadged Red or Blue.
look at the specs 
bronze and black share same specs, red and blue share different spes
body is the same but your results will not be optimal
There are differences and Ortofon chose a different motor so they have their reasons. May be silver wire vs. copper, who knows? But it was important enough that I'd go with Ortofon's recommendation.
