    Upgrade to Transparent and Articulate Sound with This Quick and Easy Stylus Replacement

    Now that you've tasted how good the Concorde Music Bronze phono cartridge sounds, satisfy your appetite by moving up to the next level in sound. Upgrade to the Concorde Music Black with a quick and easy stylus replacement.

    Serving as a next-model upgrade from the Concorde Music Bronze 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 Concorde Music Black.

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

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

    Transparent and Articulate Sound

    Experience transparent and articulate sound quality with the Concorde Music Black phono cartridge from Ortofon. The Concorde Music Black features a Nude Shibata stylus on an aluminum cantilever. It offers an additional step up from the excellent Concorde Music Bronze cartridge. It is just one model away from the Concorde Music flagship model.

    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.

    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.
