Ortofon Carts - Which Ones?
View this Thread in Original format

Hey everyone

Just need a bit of urgent help please. I'm looking to place an order in a few hours for new needles. Just wondering which ones I should get out of these:

Ortofon Concorde DJ S Cartridge
Ortofon Concorde Scratch Cartridge
Ortofon Concorde Elektro Cartridge

My friends are saying the DJ S don't seem to stand test of time! I'm swaying more towards the Elektro due to their supposed great sound quality. I'm pretty much set on getting one of the three above, so if anyone could give some advice.

Thanks!

I've heard DJ S needles are the best in price/quality... I don't have an y experience with the other two.

Do you scratch?
Yes- get the Scratch
No - don't get the Scratch

I've got the Pro Silvers and am happy with them (with Nightclub S styli), but then every now and again wish I had the Electros as they seem very highly rated and have a really nice sound to them.
You can also get the DJS, and when the styli wear out (which doesn't happen that quickly) you can always swap the styli to a Nightclub styli or something else.

However, out of those I'd probably get the Electro

I went with the Elektro's, and they sound superb. Crisp and clean hi's and floor shaking bass. I'm a very very happy man!

I was in a clothing store today and right near the entrance there was a dj setup that had two techs with ortofon concords setup.
I think they where the club or electro dunno styluses, the thing was that there where no cameras and there was no one around, my dark side was giving me ideas. My good sense prevailed and they are still sitting there in that store though.

I just ordered a Concorde Pro cartridge, with the intention of swapping the needle with a DJ S needle when it's weared out. :)
