Ortofon2M Silver Stylus

Great sound on the turntable now.

Sharper sound than anything I've heard before for the first few dozen plays

Nice stylus many thanks

good replacement for 2m red

A bit of information on the difference between the red and silver stylusThe stylus appears the same according to the specification, although it does say “ due to a special suspension” on the silver, so the counter level does seem different.The coils on the silver are silver plated, which does make for a body better.The silver is a Pro-Ject OEM part, which I the 2 experience.I don’t realise this until I read these reviews, so decided to check.The real upgrade stylus is the blue and not red.The blue is a nude stylus, which is made of a single stone and not a two part stylus tip like the silver and red.This should make the blue a better sounding stylus, but much more expensive.Information from OrtofonRecommended for following cartridges - 2M Silver, interchangeable with 2M Red and 2M BlueStylus Specification:RedFrequency response - 20-20.000 Hz + 3 / - 1 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force *) - 70 µmCompliance, dynamic, lateral - 20 µm/mNStylus type - EllipticalStylus tip radius - r/R 8/18 µmEquivalent stylus tip mass - 0.5 mgTracking force range - 1.6-2.0 g (16-20 mN)Tracking force, recommended - 1.8 g (18 mN)Tracking angle - 20°SilverFrequency response - 20-20.000 Hz + 3 / - 1 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force *) - 70 µmCompliance, dynamic, lateral - 20 µm/mNStylus type - EllipticalStylus tip radius - r/R 8/18 µmEquivalent stylus tip mass - 0.5 mgTracking force range - 1.6-2.0 g (16-20 mN)Tracking force, recommended - 1.8 g (18 mN)Tracking angle - 20°BlueFrequency response - 20-20.000 Hz + 2 / - 1 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force *) - 80 µmCompliance, dynamic, lateral - 20 µm/mNStylus type - Nude EllipticalStylus tip radius - r/R 8/18 µmEquivalent stylus tip mass - 0.5 mgTracking force range - 1.6-2.0 g (16-20 mN)Tracking force, recommended - 1.8 g (18 mN)Tracking angle - 20°2M Silver phono cartridge is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) model that takes most of the characteristics of the 2M Red. 2M Silver's special feature is silver plated copper coils, the same coil wire material as in the 2M Bronze and Black models, with a reduced number of windings.Sum up:So the silver stylus appears better over the red because of the counter level, but the silver cartridge is definitely better.But of course the blue is better again!

This stylus is infact the 2m Red with a grey housing. Save yourself £10 to £15 and get the red. Does it really matter what colour it is ??

Habe das Silber nur gekauft um meine 2m Black nicht durch alte Scheiben zu zerstören.Klanglich liegt es zwischen Red und Blue. Spielt nicht ganz so tief wie das Bronze oder Black, das sollte man auch nicht erwarten.Montiert auf einem Dual CS5000

Livraison ultra rapide, prix moins cher que sur le net/boutique, efficace.Cela fait un bon upgrade par rapport à la Red.

Cette cellule est très performante au légèrement dessus de la Red… que je conseille vivement

Ottimo upgrade della 2m red!!!Semplicissima l’installazione!!!Il miglioramento non è evidente come passare alla 2m Blue, ma ad orecchio il suono risulta leggermente più dettagliato!!!!

Just popped it on the cartridge, removed the stylus guard, cleaned the stylus and started listening.
