Nude Shibata diamond on aluminium. Fits 2M Black, 2M Bronze and LVB 250 – on the Bronze body it makes a full 2M Black.
Replacement stylus for the 2M Black – and the Shibata upgrade for any 2M Bronze
The stylus that makes the 2M Black: a nude Shibata diamond at 6 by 50 micrometres on an aluminium cantilever. It fits the upper body of the range and turns any 2M Bronze into a 2M Black – generator and body are identical.
A Shibata profile is sensitive to vertical tracking angle. After the swap it is worth checking tonearm height.
For owners of a 2M Black as a replacement – and for owners of a 2M Bronze who want the finer profile without buying a new cartridge.
