Review on 🎧 Ortofon Concorde MK2 Scratch Dual Cartridge by James Roper

The main reason I bought these needles was because Shure stopped making the M44-7 replacement needles set that I used at Shell Technics. My first pickups were MK1 Concord style nightclub pickups which sounded great but had trouble mating with some Club 1200 tonearms and also the grip was too small and flimsy for a quick grip. The new style mk2 concord solved these problems. I use 90% open format DJing and DVS scratching and 10% vinyl sets. If we compare the sound quality with the worn M44, then the effect on the bass was similar, the treble is pleasant, but that's no apple for apple with the worn M44. A suitcase with fasteners for both is more convenient than carrying 2 large jewelry boxes. I'm happy with what I got for my money, but if you're willing to take the time to research you could probably get similar quality for less.
