You might want to just replace the head on your 2m bronze, if you go black. Should save you some money. I'm actually pretty happy with my 2m bronze. Good luck
Out of these two cartridges which would you choose?
Hi everyone i officially had my new mega rp8 for a week now and am amazed by the performance with it. I am looking to upgrade the cartridge now but can decide by these two after naming down my search. I have my sets set on either a dynavector 20x2 High output version or a new ortofon 2m Black. The preamp Im running it through would be a cary slp-98p Class A all Tube phono preamp with mm only. I am not considering a low output mc. Because I tried out a new pair of speakers for fun an shocked by how bloody good they sound with my system. But are worth 10K lol and are the last pair I will ever need for life!

sbank.....Mine didn’t cost anywhere near that price...(I think I paid 2....) If that’s too much go for a black.. The upgrade is significant with either of my suggestions. The Expressimo weight is a significant upgrade as is the wiring. I've heard both of the Ortofons in an RP8 with nothing to find wanting ....every cartridge must be set up properly with enough gain et al in the head amp. |
I have the 2m Black for over 3 years and I'm always regretting the turn to MMs after I've sold my VDH Colibri XPP From the current available catalog of new MMs, the 2m Black is top after the Clearaudio Maestro II and perhaps the AT-150 MLX in a few set-ups. The 2m Black is not near a revelation upon the 2m Bronze. The characters are the same. So, if you like to really change something, choose the best without the need for future upgrade : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Headshell-JVC-Tonabnehmer-Neu-NadelJVC-Z-1S-Komponente-fur-Plattenspieler-/2... and then set an order for : http://www.jico-stylus.com/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=DT-Z1S+ne... I agree with your priorities about saving for speakers, although it would be nice to tell us what is your poison some thoughts & opinions from experienced members can be helpful. And please do not forget that until the time of this distant future upgrade, there are 2 major things that matters and really worth to consider : Power Cables & Speaker Cables from Physic Harmonic http://cablesilk.simplesite.com Best to you |
