Anyone have experience to share regarding the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze MC cartridge?

It IS on the warm side, compared to most cartridges, and I think that is a good thing.  Most systems these days sound thin and lacking in body, so a slightly warm cartridge is welcome.  It is a MC cartridge so it will still deliver plenty of detail and extension on top.  Most of my friends actually prefer the Bronze to the Black in any of Ortofon lineups because it does not sound as etched and harsh.

Do you feel the Bronze is transparent? It would seem the sound is altered in order to be "tuned warm."

By all accounts it’s the tapered (conical) aluminum cantilever that grants this "warmth". Because that’s the only significant difference to other models of that same motor design and housing. In fact its predecessor the Kontrapunkt "c" had pure silver wire, and it was even warmer (maybe due to its plastic inner housing versus aluminum on Cadenzas). I still think so fondly of the Kontra; I might have preferred it. 

It’s not overbearingly warm, and far from mushy. The sound is a kind of hybrid of Ortofon’s "modern" MC sound and the classic "warm" MC’s like SPU and Koetsu. Not as precise and clean as a Windfeld Ti, but it’s a really, really nice and very musical cartidge! Recommended. 

These conical cantilever models have such a nice sound, you’ll wonder why it isn’t more common. Well, apparently it’s a difficult part to produce/source. You’ll also notice the cantilevers tend to be a little askew more often (if it’s not too bad, just align to the cantilever), so it must also be harder for Ortofon to install. 

I have that cartridge. It does have a bit of a lush, musical sound, but also delivers plenty of detail. I think it is a more pleasing sound than the black, which is a bit more expensive

The Ortofon Bronze is a superb cartridge, and in my opinion is the best sounding of the Cadenzas (I've owned them all). It is not a warm sounding cartridge compared with, say, Benz or Koetsu, but is just a tad warmer than the typical (neutral) Ortofon sound. I doubt you would be disappointed by it.

I own both the Cadenza Bronze and Black and I like the Bronze quite a bit better.  But the cartridge I use now is Andy Kim's modified Denon DL-103 cartridge.  In my  system it outperforms all the Ortofon, Audio Technica, and Koetsu cartridges I own and it is only $600ish.  Save yourself a couple of thousand dollars and get it instead. https://trackingangle.com/equipment/needle-clinics-denon-103-phono-cartridge

The Ortofon Cadenza Bronze is indeed a fine cartridge, though I do wish the body featured a swept underside as it does ride close to the record surface when navigating warps. If you prefer something with natural warmth AND a lively, energetic presentation you may want to consider something from the EMT lineup. I’m a dealer for both brands.

It is one of my favorite cartridges-I commented on it in the "5,000-10,000 MC-is there a difference?" thread that has crept down in the most recently commented-upon threads, but not too far. In short, despite currently using a $10,000 Lyra Etna and a $6,000 Van den Hul, the Cadenza Bronze remains one of my top three or four cartridges. 

I would consider the Ortofon SPU Royal N has the qualities of a SPU in musicality, but because of the Replicant Stylus you get the detail as well.

Having enjoyed the Kontrapunkt C, I bought a Cadenza Bronze. I ended up re-tipping the KC, as I prefer it. However, neither of these cartridges has a permanent place on my tonearms, but are taken out occasionally for a run. Is the Bronze really warm? Compared to the Black maybe, and certainly not as warm as a Benz Micro.

I had both the bronze and black. Would agree with @pinwa comments. 

Also don't forget the phono preamp and SUT device you use with either cart can have a big impact on the sound. 

to the OP, you may want to try your current cart with a better phono stage first before jumping into LOMC land. 

I own the Cadenza Bronze and the MM Blue. I think you'll find greater detail, silkiness and warmth with the Bronze, but definitely in a GOOD way. I like the Blue, but it can be a little bold and aggressive. I've noticed this difference between Blue and Bronze seems to be true for each of the Ortofon color lines.
I also prefer the Cadenza Bronze over the Windfeld.

Thank you for your analysis of the MM Blue vs. Cadenza Bronze. The greater details and silkiness is what I hope to hear.
