Her er lidt yderligere info om denne spændende PU (uddrag fra test i hifi world nov. 2007):
The 2M Black has
a silky smooth presentation with
no glare or treble emphasis at all. In
fact, its Shibata tip is, compared to
Goldring’s Fritz Geiger S, relatively
mild in its treble delivery - and very
Kontrapunkt-like too. Suddenly, with
the Black in the RB300, music started
to flow with the liquid smoothness
and sophistication I am used to from
my Kontrapunkt b. I ran through the
same list of albums mentioned so far
and all slid by as masterful performances
Apart from
being finely detailed,
silky smooth and
completely engaging
at a musical level,
the Black also has
the peculiar quality
of sounding totally
cohesive, just like the
Kontrapunkt b. Specific
properties don’t stand
out in relief; it operates as
a whole and as such moves beyond
simple reductionist criticism. Some
might say it is too smooth, preferring
more boom and ting,
but I’d describe this
cartridge’s presentation
as pure class, devoid of
obvious weakness. It
does not have the walk
around dimensionality
of a good moving coil,
but it otherwise gets
frighteningly close,
at a fraction of the
price.
