    Quick and Easy Upgrade to the Top-of-the-Line Concorde Music Series Cartridge Model

    Upgrade your Concorde Music Black phono cartridge (or any Concorde Music stylus) to a top-of-the-line Black LVB 250 cartridge and enjoy ultimate detail and authenticity. All it takes is replacing the Black stylus with the Black LVB 250 stylus, and the process is quick and simple.

    The Concorde Music Black LVB 250 is the pinnacle of the Concorde Music series. It features a Nude Shibata stylus on a no-compromise boron cantilever.

    Serving as an upgrade from the Concorde Music Black and compatible with all Concorde Music cartridge models, this stylus enables a seamless transition from any model of Ortofon's Concorde Music MM phono cartridge series to the Black LVB 250.

    In fact, you can go directly from the entry-level Concorde Music Red (or any Concorde Music cartridge) to the Concorde Music Black LVB 250 with this easy stylus change.

    And, or course, if you have worn out or damaged your current Black LVB 250 stylus, this is the exact replacement stylus you need.

    The Boron Advantage – Far from Boring!

    The shape of the Shibata stylus distinguishes itself by having a narrow and long contact surface. The Shibata is very close to the original cutting stylus used in creating a studio master record. This ensures the most accurate reproduction, boasting low distortion and extended frequency range.

    The use of an extremely stiff and lightweight boron cantilever is key to the remarkable performance of the Black LVB 250. Boron is far from boring! It adds remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness. The superb benefits of boron are key to the extensive reach of this fine cartridge.

    And just in case you were wondering, Ortofon calls this model the LVB in tribute to that eternal master of music composition, Ludwig van Beethoven.

    Rubber Suspension

    A crucially important and vital part of a phono cartridge's overall performance is the stylus suspension.

    Exclusive Ortofon rubber compounds are carefully produced by Ortofon's inhouse rubber production team. These special compounds are the end result of a long research and development effort by the team in its successful quest for brilliant performance.

    An Easy Upgrade Path

    A Concorde Music stylus provides an easy upgrade path for every model of the series from Concorde Red to Concorde Black. Simply pull off your current stylus and replace it with the new one. That's all there is to it! Remember to keep the stylus guard on when installing the new stylus to keep the needle safe.

    And you can move directly from the entry-level Red or any other Concorde Music model to the top-of-the-line Black LVB 250 simply by changing the stylus.

    Note: This product consists of the stylus only. The cartridge is not included.
