2M Silver phono cartridge is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) model that takes all the characteristics of the 2M Red. 2M Silver's special feature is pure silver coils. By using silver coils in the generator system, the 2M Silver is capable of providing optimal signal generation - giving your records the best possible chance of sounding great.

a few high end silver cartridges and i also own a high end empire with silver coils. I never could attribute the "sound" of the cartridge to having silver coils. Having the Empire re-tipped from boron with a VDH stylus to a Soundsmith ruby OLC made a difference in sound but i still cannot "hear" the silver in it. As a matter of fact the Empire is a somewhat "mellow" sounding MC even though it has all the creeds to be very extended on the top. The Win Research SMC-10 is a lot more "bright" or forward and has Cu coils and the same cantilever and stylus.

I have owned several ZYX cartridges over the years and i have two Airy 3 of which one was silver coils and the other was Copper. I have heard many prefer the copper, but my ears could not tell the difference. I agree the contacts or solder points are more influential than the coil material. As i reworked my leads on my Maplenoll, i hardwired the leads directly to my Phono preamp thus eliminating several solder points. That had a far greater impact on sound than the copper vs silver coils.
