Anybody used Ortofon 2M on Ekos?

[sonddek]

I've got a 2M Bronze on my Ekos2/Technics and it sounds very hifi, but ridiculously dynamic. It's a very arresting sound indeed, smooth, very articulate in the bass and midrange. I can't yet make up my mind whether I like it.

Anybody else tried 2M on Ekos, and in particular has anybody compared 2M Bronze to 2M Black as I'm tempted to see if there's a way to add finesse and subtlety to this gut-kicking authoritative sound?

Nobody??

Try it on an LP12 perhaps

I have. It had no more finesse than it has on my other decks. And of course, it fell at the tunedem hurdle ;-)

if u can't make up your mind, then doesn't that tell you by default that you don't actually like it?

i take it you're saying the 2m bronze has a bold sound. but perhaps that it could just be really transparent and letting you know how the EKOS sounds?

 

[sonddek]

I'm liking it more and more. The bold dynamic sound makes all kinds of music sound very convincing and dramatic. I also found more finesse by tightening the arm pillar bolt, which I don't think was tight enough. The deck sounds good now. I'll do a needledrop soon, before I sell the Ekos.

Probably a bit late in the day but I've been running a 2m bronze on an LP12 with an Origin One OL1 tonearm. For my taste its superb. Dynamic, accurate and smooth. Tracks well and reveals lots of subtley n the music. Hope that helps.
