Old stylus off, new one on – your MKII DJ is back to original condition in seconds.

Why the Stylus MKII DJ?

The DJ is considered the all-rounder of the MKII line: spherical grind (R 18 µm), a balanced, stiff cantilever, accurate playback and excellent groove handling with low record wear. It handles every style, from vinyl sets to back-cueing – the obvious choice once your old DJ stylus has had its day.

What you hear

Balanced, honest sound across the whole spectrum, with no embellishment. The spherical grind is forgiving of worn records and keeps a secure hold in the groove – stability over the last bit of top-end shine. Exactly what DJs want in everyday use.

Who is the Stylus MKII DJ suited for?

For DJs and vinyl fans looking for a robust, forgiving all-round stylus for their Concorde MKII DJ. Straight talk: if you want that last drop of refinement for audiophile listening, the elliptical Club or the Elite serve you better. It doesn't fit other MKII models or the Music line.

Our verdict

The reliable all-round replacement stylus for the Concorde MKII DJ: spherical, precise groove handling, gentle on records. Swap the stylus, keep playing – an upgrade rarely gets more straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Stylus MKII DJ fit my Concorde?

It's made for the Concorde MKII DJ and clicks directly onto its body. For other MKII variants (Mix, Scratch, Club, Elite) or the Music line, you need the matching stylus for each. Not sure which one you have? We'll match it to your setup.

Is the Stylus MKII DJ a complete stylus or just the diamond?

A complete stylus unit. On the Concorde system, the whole stylus unit with diamond and cantilever sits at the front of the body and is replaced as a whole – no gluing, no tools. Pull it off, click the new one on, done.

When should I replace the stylus?

As soon as the sound turns dull, distortion appears, or the stylus looks visibly worn. Depending on use, a DJ stylus lasts a few hundred hours. A worn stylus doesn't just sound worse – it damages your records, so when in doubt, replace it sooner rather than later.

Why buy the Stylus MKII DJ from HD Zürisee?

Because you get the genuine original plus an honest assessment: Andy and Mauri will tell you whether the new stylus is enough or a different grind makes more sense. Personal advice from Wädenswil instead of an anonymous mail-order counter – so you don't end up buying twice.
