    I have read that the bronze works well on the black, but I have never read about anyone putting a blue on a black.
    Does it fit, and will it work?

    Does your home insurance cover damage to your hifi system? A few years ago one of my kids damaged the Kontra A on my turntable and the insurers coughed up no problem.

    My house insurance would cover it but with an excess of £100 then having a claim. Is it worth it as my insurance will probably go up reflecting the claim.

    I'd forgotten that most house insurances are like car policies now. Looks like you're just going to have to stump up I'm afraid.

    Did the same with my Lyra Delos a few years back. I snapped the cantilever clean off. I claimed successfully on my home insurance and had it rebuilt by ESC only to have the diamond become dislodged and sadly no more. So i feel your pain too.

    Mick there is a trade in value on the cart if used against another or same Ortofon. Go talk to an Ortofon dealer.

    Give the 2M Blue stylus a go! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
    And as other have spoken before, you can put any 2M stylus in any house, no problems. The Bronze/Black houses have different coils though and improve quite some on the Red/Blue housing.
    So, a Blue on a Black body are to my ears one of the best combos possible witin the series.

    Sorry bout your mishap of course...:/

    This was my thinking to be honest. A blue that I loved for a while is a a lot cheaper than another black. With the black upgraded cart do you find it sounds ok ?
