Anyone tried the Ortofon Concorde century Cartridge?


I am able to get a great deal on a new one. I know the 40th anniversary model is based on the ortofon Blue. However, I'm not certain what the century model is based on. KAB does a combo with sys40 stylus that is basically a Ortofon Black. 

The silver looks nice with a Technics 1200 GR (my TT). 

Any thoughts?

I read on a post somewhere, when the Concord century was released a couple years back, that the sound sits somewhere between the Bronze and Black. Not as warm/veiled sounding as the Bronze, not as analytical as the Black. Basically, the best of both worlds. The sound sample thats on youtube makes it seem like a pleasant offering (of course, one can't base decisions on youtube sound demos.)
i did own the Ortofon MC Anna Diamond for a few months, which was similar to the Ortofon MC Century. both fantastic cartridges and a whole different level than those others.

MC Century and Concorde Century MM are completely different.
-MC Century is $12 000 cartridge
-Concorde Century is $750 MM cartridge.

OP asking for Concorde MM cartridge, anniversary edition.
This is what you meant ?
If you’re looking for 40 Anniversary Concorde from KAB then Fine Line or Fritz Geiger option is the best.

The price is high and you can’t change the alignment method using Concorde cartridge, there is no adjustment of overhang. This is really not the best cartridge and instead of paying that much you can buy some amazing MM or MI cartridges from the past with much better sound quality than any Concorde with any type of styli. This is MM cartridge and cantilever is very cheap and soft aluminum, again, you can pay the same price for a better cartridge with advanced cantilever, stylus.

KAB offers some upgrades for the most popular (none audiophile) gear and it’s good for those who already have that gear and willing to upgrade a bit.

But the best upgrade is to buy another cartridge from the start. I tried all Concorde models in the past (15-20 years ago), it was $150 cartridges for professional needs, they are low compliance designed for high tracking force. An entry level cartridge for high price (for an entry level) and any simple $100 Grado MI killing it!

If you want an audiophile grade cartridge then Stanton CS-100 WOS, Pickering XSV/4000, Pioneer PC-1000 mkII, Grace F9, Victor X1IIe is the way to go with $500-750 budget max.
