View this Thread in Original format TranceCluber How much are the Nightclub S cartidges ....not the styluz just the cartige......cuz i need to get new ones and i want to know how much around US $s they cost ???????????? skywarp You can't get the cartridge only by itself ... you either buy the cartridge together with the stylus or only the stylus itself (to replace a worn out one). There should be no need to buy a new cartridge unless you physically damage it. A Concorde Nightclub S should go around $130. TranceCluber that sucks ..cuz someone told me on a thread before that the connectors on some ortofon cartidges have connecter problems...and thats what i have with my tables..and its the cartidge connectors.... whenever i take a cue tip with little watter or alchol on it and dab the connectors it works..and the next day they dont work again....... and its the cartidge i have 4 styuls still good but both cartidges are wack ..i really want to get new ones! Fyx I have heard that the connection with the tonearm in the concorde cartridges can run in to problems, particularily if you take them on and off alot. How old and frequently removed were your cartridges? The problem could be either the cartridge or the tonearm being a little messed up at the connection point. I'd try using your carts on somebody elses table to see if it works well, and also whip out your headshells and a cheap needle to make sure that the tonearm itself is all good. (Alternatively you could get somebody else to lend you their concordes but that may prove difficult) Either way for the future you'll probably want to switch to the OM style cart as this problem is supposed to be less likely to occur with them. Assuming just your carts are messed up, then your best bet for replacing them would be to go to a store that sells ortofon carts and explain your situation to them. There is a chance that they would be willing to sell you the cartridge minus a needle and the cost of one if they are nice enough. Also if it may be worth seeing if ortofon themselves would be willing to replace the carts though I am unaware of their warrenty policy. Good luck and let us know how it goes, I hope things aren't too messed up. DJ LIQUID dood.....sorry to hear that :( ive never had a problem with my Concordes are they still under warranty??
