imo, the whitelabels wern't that hard to setup. One thing i've noticed about whitelabels, they are much easier on vinyl than many of the concordes i've used.

Ortofons tend to have problems with their connectors. I've owned both the Ortofons and the Whitelabels and I myself am going with the Shure M44-7s.

That's actually a bit overexagerated. If you regulary (VERY regulary)take off the cart, it's true you'll find that at some point, the connectors of the tonearm will have gotten pushed backwards. This shouldn't be a problem though, since on good tables, there is a little screw in the tonearm that when you turn it, it pushes the connectors back forwards again.

Exactly. One of the major advantages of Ortofon. Also goes to the Tonar Banana, since that one's been produced by Ortofon as well (just carries a different name and a higher pricetag ), but all Ortofon needles fit in a Banana as well.

The only difference between an OM and a Concorde is that an OM fits in a headshell. Sometimes it looks like the Concorde is more stable, but I'm not completely sure. Might be my imagination... Needles in an OM fit in a Concorde and vice versa.
