Ortofon resurrect the Concorde range on their 100th birthday: Watch

Ortofon have release mark II of their popular Concorde range of needles. Originally released in the 1980s, Ortofon are resurrecting the range to celebrate the company’s 100^th birthday. There are five cartridges in the series: Mix, DJ, Club, Scratch and Digital.

All models benefit from a replaceable reinforced finger lift, which is easily replaced if broken. The cartridge bodies have been broadened, to offer greater stability during performances.  Replacement styli offer a tactile feedback when seating, indicating a snug and secure fit, while a cut-out area in the front allows for far more accurate needle drops.

The new needles are available now and start at €89. While you're at it, why not stock up on Jeff Mills' vinyl stabiliser and treat yourself to a brand new turntable from Numark.
