The 2m Black is very highly regarded as thetop of the mm range of Ortofon moving magnets, top that is until the Luwig Van Beethoven 250th Anniversary version entered the market a couple of years ago. The Black is the only cart in the mm range which can be upgraded by a simple stylus assembly swap. It is basically a 2m Black with a boron cantilever and nude Shibata stylus (same as the Cadenza Black). In performance terms it is a considerable step up from the already brilliant 2m Black, and well worth the extra money. Generally very well reviewed and certainly a strong recommendation from me. Bought from Thomann.de,who have an excellent recommendation, at quite a saving against other suppliers.
