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


I've been very happy with the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge I use on my Technics SL1210G turntable, enjoying a lot of jazz and classical music. Obviously I've heard many times that a Moving Coil cartridge can reveal more detail so I've been thinking of upgrading to the Orotofon Cadenza MC Bronze. However, Orotofon acknowledges the cartridge is "tuned to be warm." How is this done and how does it affect music playback (i.e. rolling off treble, attenuating bass, etc.)? Anyone have experience with this cartridge they can share with me?

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.
