Ortofon CONCORDE DJ

This is probably the most widely used Ortofon cartridge, featuring high technical ratings across the board and an excellent reputation. The DJ-S is a proven professional-grade cartridge that is suitable for all types of DJs. It has a high output at 6.0mV and functions with good skip resistance, moderate record wear and durable construction. Before the Scratch came out, this was considered the best Ortofon for hip hop djs. This set one extra stylus (which offsets your initial cost).
