Review: A definite upgrade - I've been using an Ortophon 2m Blue cartridge on my Fluance RT-85 for about two years now. I've always thought it was an excellent cartridge for the money, especially since the stylus is replaceable. Recently, though, I got the itch to upgrade, and I thought the 2m Bronze would be the logical choice. I pulled the trigger about a month ago, and I don't regret it. If you're used to the 2m Blue, I think you'll definitely find that the sound of the Bronze is clearly better, even without break-in. Although as I say the Blue is a great cartridge, the Bronze is--to my ears--better in all of the important areas: more definition, a better soundstage, and better dynamics. I only have about thirteen hours on mine so far, but I don't find it to be noticeably harsh even though it's relatively new. I'm really pleased that I upgraded, and at least for me spending a little bit more money does yield a significant improvement in performance. Some have noted that the Bronze is less forgiving when it comes to surface noise than the Blue, and I would have to agree. However, I chalk this up to the improved resolution that goes with the finer stylus. Still, I don't mind this because the better sound quality more than makes up for it. It may be noticeable, but for me it's not an issue. If you like the Ortophon sound and want to step up from the Red or Blue, I think you'll find the Bronze well worth the money. I'm sold. Also, on my Fluance--which was already set up for an Ortophon--replacement was a breeze. It took me less than ten minutes to install and align mine. It was probably the easiest cart switch I've ever done. Update: I've now been using the 2m Bronze for about 100 hours. Shortly after I wrote my first review, I became a little concerned that the Bronze was revealing more surface noise on my older records than did the 2m Blue. However, at around 50-60 hours of use I noticed that it had really started to break in and was much more forgiving. My verdict--give this cart at least 50 hours before you decide what you think about it. In my experience, after break in it still retains the increased detail but "mellows out" a bit when it comes to surface noise. A somewhat expensive upgrade, but the cartridge is probably the best sound improvement you can make to a turntable. I'm still sold.
Review: Pleasantly surprised. - This is an outstanding cartridge for the price. Detailed, good definition, and able to hear individual instruments during loud passages. Sonic wise its up there with my Rega Aphelion. Highly recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this cartridge make me scratch better?**
A: So I've been around the block a lot...A Lot. And I can say no other cartridge gives me temporary relief of all my STDs better than this one. It scratches like no other and I highly recommend.

**Q: Can I use this cartridge with a music hall mm 9.1**
A: Yes you can.  This is a very good cartridge, to get the most out of it make sure your set up is correct i.e. azimuth, vertical tracking angle, and tracking force are spot on! What I really like about the 2M is you can swap the Bronze for a black 2M at any time !

**Q: Does it come with head shell?**
A: It does not have a head shell

**Q: Is the 2M Black/Bronze compatible with the Audio Technica LP-120XUSB and headshell? I've heard the 20° tracking angle can be incompatible with some.**
A: Thanks for your question. The Ortofon 2M Series cartridges are 17mm high and may require a turntable with an adjustable height tonearm to maintain correct tracking angle. The LP120X has no adjustable height and does not specify a cartridge height range.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really Sweet
*by A***R on December 5, 2025*

For a mid-priced cartridge, this 2M Bronze is really sweet. Very warm tones, yet crystal clear highs with amazing mids. The bass is solid and tight. This cartridge has sprung new life into some of my old LP's...it's like hearing them again for the first time.
