Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black

My first post here on the forums and I needed an honest opinion. I have a cheap music hall mmf 2.2 turntable with 2m blue installed. I like the sound but was wondering if I can get better details from upgrading to a black cartridge on my basic turntable. Would it be worth it? I’m definitely an analog lover but am budget constrained. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Big_Greg.

There maybe a few Nos stylus left but you will have to be lucky.
Possible there may be a Jico SAS available for that model.
Either way the price will not be cheap.

I paid probably too much for a Jico SAS for a Shure M91e but it sure does sound sweet.

That's more than I paid for the turntable and cartridge! 

I have a couple of jico sas styli and like them, but from what I've read they don't do Stanton.

Jico used to make stylus for the 981 but a Pickering XSV3000 should work just as well.
Which are a little easier to find and cheaper!
