Replacement needle for 2M Blue sound box.
All 2M cartridges' styles can be interchanged with replacement styles from the rest of the series, but the 2M Bronze and Black have a superior cartridge body, when compared to the 2M Red and Blue. You will therefore not get the full performance of a 2M Black by placing a 2M Black Stylus on a 2M Red body - although the sound will be vastly improved. Similarly, a 2M Red Stylus will be a notable downgrade to a 2M Bronze or Black cartridge.
The 2M Blue is a highly enjoyable upgrade from the introductory 2M Red design.
