During storage and transport the cap also protects the delicate stylus from touching and knocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pair of caps for Concorde and OM cartridges (Ortofon names the Concorde MkI and OM series).

Concorde MkII has its own caps, as do 2M and SPU. And they do not replace careful handling of the tonearm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen francs for a pair of caps and the certainty that the stylus survives the next swap.

That is what it is for, not as a permanent accessory on a running cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Ortofon Protection Caps from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we know which cap belongs on which cartridge and do not clarify that only after the order.
