What turntable did you try it on? Ortofon has a compatiblity list of turntable/cartridge in a drop down menu tool. The FLUANCE series ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2M Black. Fluance is not compatible with the 2M BRONZE either. Many have installed the 2M black and report great results. However without the VTA adjustments.... there is either distortion, record premature wear or stylus premature wear. The tonearms of the Fluance, Audio Technica and even Uturn... DO NOT SUPPORT THE 2M Black. REGA turntables however DO support the 2M Bronze and 2M Black. I wish this was more out known.... as I bought from UA-camrs claiming the 2M black would work with these turntables.... when in fact that is not the case. I have a Fluance that I may return for this very reason. As well an Audio Technica. Ortofon will confirm... as will Fluance. You will notice Fluance has removed the 2M black from all mention on their websites now. I wish there was not so much misinformation out there on this.
Ho w does it compare to the Ortofon 2M Black LVB 250?
The Bronze sounds better than the Black. I regret buying the black.
Why do you say that? Would love to hear why thanks.

@@teamsix7185 I have a Technics SL-1210GR, so the 2M Black is compatible with my turntable. I just don’t care for the sound it produces.
Is this a better option than ortofon blue quintet mc?
@@teamsix7185 I have a Technics SL-1210GR. Update: I switched back to the 2M Black, and I’m enjoying it. I think it needed some break-in time.
