Description

The Ortofon 2M Bonze cartridge is the third cartridge of this new and already famous 2M range of the Danish constructor.

This range was designed in partnership with the Moller Jensen Design agency, which has developed other high-end products such as the Ortofon Mc Jubilee and Kontrapunkt cartridges!

Ortofon 2M Bronze: technology

All the models in this series (4 in total) feature a magnetic system that comprises a divided magnet.

This is not really a new technology as Ortofon invented it and already proposed it on the 500 models, but here it has been specially improved and optimised, noticeably reducing the distortion and particularly improving the linearity and extent of the frequency response especially in the treble which is often the weakness of moving magnet cartridges.

The intention of the manufacturer was clearly to propose a moving magnet cartridge with performances close to the ones achieved by a moving coil.

Ortofon 2M Bronze: body and stylus

The body of the 2M Bronze is made of a composite resin called 'Lexan DMX'. This groundbreaking material provides outstanding stiffness and wards off unwanted resonance.

The coils have silver-plated copper conductors. 

Its extremely high quality stylus has a fairly complex profile called Nude Fine Line which is very close to the shape of the engraving 'chisel'. 

Ortofon 2M Bronze: listening and review

The sound quality is particularly clear and transparent, with details bursting from the music.

The reverberations of the recording locations are long and full.

The sound stage is very authentic, placing every sound where it should be.

Note that is shows a fine balance. It successfully combines definition, precision and texture!

In many ways, you get the feeling of listening to a moving coil cartridge rather than a moving magnet cartridge!

The Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge leans toward neutrality, transparency and timbre quality. An MM cartridge that overtakes its MC competitors on many counts!

An indisputable success!

timbre et définition

J'ai fait l'acquisition de cette cellule en remplacement d'une Grado red 1 , j 'ai l'impression d'avoir changer de platine , tout est plus définie , la scène sonore est beaucoup plus claire , les timbres sont incroyablement plus proches de la réalité , on perçois des détails jamais remarqués , bravo et merci pour vos conseils

Fait merveille avec ma platine Rega Planar 6, une dynamique et scène sonore excellente.

Un enchantement !

Montée sur TD125 / SME S2 en remplacement d'une 2m blue. Le jour et la nuit ! Et pourtant la blue me semblait déjà bien à part un peu de dureté dans le haut medium. Elle n'est pas rodée et pourtant c'est déjà surprenant : globalement c'est bien plus détaillé, des aiguës très fins, un médium aéré et plus naturel , des basses légèrement plus propres. Ce qui surprend, ce sont les transitoires sur les percussions, les cymbales et la réverbération de l'enregistrement. La scène sonore paraît un peu moins large car on gagne en profondeur, elle est plus cohérente. Le bruit de surface est atténué par rapport à la blue.
J'ai l'expérience de shure m95ed, v15 IV, Adc xlm, empire 2000T, AT15sa et Ortofon VMS et je dois dire que je suis franchement étonné de découvrir encore de mes vinyles !
Je n'ai pas osé la 2m black de peur d'avoir plus de bruits de surface avec la pointe shibata, mais j'avoue que je suis bien curieux de voir....Ou plutôt d'écouter !

Ortofon 2M Bronze

Superbe cellule franchement c'est le top niveau son..J'avais la shure v15 type 3,4,et 5 avec des diamants he,la denon dl 103;audio technica at 3200 bref j'en ai essayé des cellules dans la gamme de prix correct et aucune n'arrive a la cheville de celle-ci.Niveau difference de detaille c'est le jour et la nuit.Apres les shure sont des anciennes cellules donc je pense qu'il vaut mieux prendre des cellules d'aujoud'hui.A moins que je ne me trompeMaintenant .Je vais essayer la 2m black.
