Ortofon CONCORDE PRO S

The most economical of the Ortofon line, but still much better than any of the imitation Concordes out there. Again, we would like to stress the overall quality of the Ortofon line here and the fact that you really can't go wrong with any model. Ortofon Pro has about the same sound quality as the DJS, but the output (5.0mV) and tracking ability are not quite as high.

And for what it's worth, while the Pro is the least expensive of the concord line, it's definitely the best looking. This set comes packaged in a hard plastic case and includes one extra stylus (which offsets your initial cost) and a stylus brush.
