The model offered is originally a new and originally packaged Ortofon Concorde R 10 cartridge, the packaging of which we opened and the cartridge body of which we replaced with a new original Ortofon stylus 40. After that the carton of the cartridge was then resealed by us. The original Ortofon needle 10 is not included in the scope of delivery.

MM cartridge with integrated headshell and SME bayonet connection.

In comparison to the Concorde cartridges for DJ applications, the Ortofon Concorde R is the perfect hi-fi cartridge for legendary turntables such as the Technics SL 1210, other DJ turntables, as well as hi-fi turntables with 52mm overhang.

Easy mounting on the tonearm due to the SME bayonet connection, no need to adjust the pickup.

This is an exclusive Ortofon model produced for Thakker.
The Concorde R uses the improved generator known from the Ortofon 2M Blue.

This results in an increased output power of 5.5 mV with full reproduction and high sound accuracy.

Compatible with the following "Ortofon Stylus" stylus insertions
Both the generator, coils and magnet configuration of the Concorde R harmonize perfectly with the Ortofon Stylus 10, 20, 30 and 40 stylus insertions.
