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.

Yes... it is possible.

The internal generator is nearly identical.

That’s close to right...

red: copper generator / elliptical bonded
silver: silver generator / elliptical bonded
blue: copper generator / elliptical nude
bronce: silver generator / fine line nude
black: silver generator / shibata nude

”silver generator” means silver-coated copper wire.

Thats all!

Soundwise we made some comparisons and found out
that the diamond tip makes a difference... the generator
close to nothing.

There might be a selectional process at Ortofon but in
some cases the cheaper cartridge outperformed more
expensive ones.

Price/performance wise the silver is maybe the worst.
