Ortofon Concorde Elektro

Haven't seen much info on Concorde Elektros. Anyone here uses them? I'd like to know how well they track and compare in sound quality to Night Clubs.
What kind of an improvement does higher voltage rating provide?

The higher the voltage on your carts the lower you will need to set your gains so you get more headroom.

damn voltage and cartridges..

just one more thing I can add to the "I had no idea I needed to know about that" list..

its slowly growing.... the list that is..

That's why DJing is so much fun!

So no one has any experience with those cartridges?

I use them, they are cheaper and sound better than the nightclubs. as for tracking, i couldnt tell you, i dont scratch or do anything rough w/ my vinyl.

About the only disadvantage compared with the nightclubs is the higher tracking force the elektros need. How much record wear this translates to over the life of your records? I don't know.

I use them too and in my experience they sound incredibly good. Not to mention that they look pretty damn good too.

As for wear and tear... I haven't noticed anymore than normal.

Hey Nem, how do you think those elektros hold up to scratching?

Well I just baught Elektro stylus and put them on my Nightclubs. So far, they sound and hold pretty good. I will be testing them some more tomorrow.

I love my nightclubs. Had them stolen from me at a club and bought a new pair right away. That's how much I love them. Very reliable. Sound is SICK!! Def. worth the price.

They are never going to perform like proper carts that are designed for scratcthing so in my opinion they are not the best option for that purpose.

Appart from that they sound real good.

Eh, well i've been using Whitelabels for my turntablism stuff but stylii is so damn fragile on Shure carts I was thinking about going with some Ortofons.

Don't like the Whitelabels for Tablism.

If you really want some Tablist carts get some Shure M44-7. Mounted correctly you will have some of the best groove hugging decks around. The problem with the is that they wear more on the outside groove a little.

Electros wont give you anymore than whitelabels.

Can you actually notice the sound difference

I've yet to have my whitelabels not hold up to the scratches I do. I also mix breakbeat, experimental hip-hop, and downtempo so thats why I don't use the 44-7s.

The Yellow Tip for me.

Long lasting too.

I just brought 2 concorde nightclub E's and there really nice crisp sound... i personally couldnt tell much of a diff when i demoed them against the electros... but i got the nightclubs cheep cheep... also i rock the ortofon pink (scratch) carts for all my scratching and tablisim sessions and they are mint.

In terms of tracking the Shure M44-7s stick to the groove like glue. You can give them some serious abuse if you mount them at the correct angle.
Never encountered another cartridge that stands up to such a pounding. (Not saying they don't exist, just never seen one).
They also have very good sound.

I find that Elektros sound much better then M44-7s and track almost as well if not the same. (I own both)

i love my whitelabels for trance though
