Ortofon's 2M line has become a de facto reference for moving-magnet cartridges.

2M Series has been engineered to the highest standards and is congruent with Ortofon’s unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration.

All 2M cartridges' styli can be interchanged with replacement styli from the rest of the series.

But, the 2M Bronze and Black have a superior cartridge body compared to the 2M Red and Blue. You will therefore not get the full performance of a 2M Black by placing a 2M Black Stylus on a 2M Red body - though the sound will be vastly improved. To get the best out of this feature, remember these rough pairs - Red and Blue, Bronze and Black.
