Can only agree regarding the 2M Black.
A classy mm / cartridge.
It is the one that really opened my eyes to how good it can get and the importance of meticulous cartridge / stylus set up.
Its qualities and reputation are well documented all over forums and the net BUT and please note !
Its stylus profile has to be set up accurately,
It is very fussy regards set up - sra / vta etc have to be
spot on.
Its sweetspot window is very narrow but once found /accurately dialled in, happy days !
Btw - I and many others have found the sweetspot within a a slighty negative rake, ie tonearm tail down as oppossed to absolutely parallel.
