    Enjoy very muchly as you undoubtedly will

    Btw - title has to change now to Ortofon 2M Black is Once More!
    Thanks for the title change option

    Listened to music all day and very happy I stayed with the Black option. Like you said it was the correct decision in the end. If I hadn't bought it and gone for a blue or bronze I would be always wondering about the Black.

    Looking very good Mick and although it's a high price to pay, I am sure you will not regret it. I would find it very very hard to live without the 2M.

    I certainly had not regrets buying another stylus and in fact it was a joy to hear a brand new one again after 50 hours run it it was sublime.

    Just out of interest Technics themselves were using a 2M Black on their new SL1210 being demonstrated at the Bristol HiFi show this weekend and it sounded excellent - no external power supply and standard arm as well !

    Not surprised Mel. I wonder what it would have sounded like on the top SL1200GAE ?
