The Original Concorde 200 was not only an MC cartridge but it was an MC with replaceable "stylus" as you can see in the catalog. And it was a Nude Fine Line diamond and Boron cantilever combo!
I cannot say enough about the KAB Concorde STY40 combo
I purchased one to add to my cartridge collection. This cartridge was spot on with all alignment, etc. I just had to adjust the arm level and tracking force. Most reviews say this combo is a 2m Black in a Concorde configuration at $300 cheaper. For my system (1200GR, ELAC PPA2 phono pre), this cartridge is the best all-rounder since I listen to all kinds of music. I highly suggest if you are looking for a cartridge for your 1200 series turntable. I know there are some who do not recommend the audiophile (non DJ) Concordes. I, however, as quite impressed.

There also was the Ortofon cartridge for the SME series III that incorporated the arm wand model 30M. Thanks @totem395 this is interesting version (MM). |
Technics reference turntable SP1000R was first introduced with Audio-Technica reference ART-1000 cartridge on the show. Now there is an Ortofon on it. Probably because the AT ART-1000 is over $5k cartridge |
I have an older Concorde that's black, I got it when I purchased my SL-1210MKII, which was used to DJ. I had an OM40 stylus which I used with a used Ortofon OMP 10 (P-Mount) on a Technics SL-10. I mated the OM40 to the Concorde and currently use it with an SL-1800MKII. I use it mostly with new or very pristine used Lps, it seems to pick up a lot of surface noise. With the right recording the darn thing is magic. |
