    So four weeks later I am happy to report 2M Black stylus has been replaced FOC by the dealer for a new one. I asked him why it took so long and he mentioned that the importer was super busy which I can understand especially as they are the main distributor for Ortofon. I was someway down the line to be dealt with.

    Tonight I start the whole process of running a new stylus in again!

    To be fair I think they had to check it first. That takes another 5 mins!

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Extraordinary sound from the new 2M stylus. Just gobsmacked. Going from my standby 1000+ hour stylus to this new one has been a revelation. On every parameter you can measure this new stylus sounds so much better. The cantilever /stylus profile looks correct from the side view tracking so I am very very happy.

    I know I have said it many times but the 2M Black is a fabulous sounding cartridge and has perfect synergy with my phono stage/ preamp and the rest of my system and is the main reason I have never felt the need to move onto anything better. It satisfies my listening experience 100% which is a great place to be.
