{"product_id":"ortofon-concorde-stylus-mkii-club","title":"Ortofon Concorde Stylus MKII Club (Replacement Stylus)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ortofon Concorde Stylus MKII Club is the original replacement stylus for the Ortofon Concorde MKII Club cartridge – the only MKII stylus with an elliptical grind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClick it on and your Club is back to original condition – without replacing the whole cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Stylus MKII Club?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Club is the finest of the classic MKII styli: instead of spherical, it tracks with a Special Elliptical grind (r\/R 13\/25 µm) that reaches deeper into the groove and pulls out more detail than a round-nose diamond. At 8 mV output voltage it needs little pre-amplification, sounds clean, and feels equally at home in club, studio and broadcast use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore refinement than the spherical MKII styli: the elliptical grind uncovers highs and details a round stylus glosses over. Vocals and cymbals come through more precisely, the soundstage feels tidier – without losing the robustness you need in daily DJ use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Stylus MKII Club suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone keeping their Concorde MKII Club ready to play and who values detail – club, studio, broadcast. Straight talk: the elliptical grind is more demanding than a spherical one; for hard scratching, the more robust Scratch stylus is the better choice. It doesn't fit other MKII models or the Music line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finest of the classic MKII styli: elliptical grind, more detail, a clean 8 mV signal. For club, studio and broadcast use where accuracy counts – swap the wear part instead of buying a new system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: replacement stylus (stylus unit) for Ortofon Concorde MKII Club\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus shape: Special Elliptical, r\/R 13\/25 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput voltage: 8 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm\/s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended tracking force: 3 g (range 2–4 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel separation: 25 dB at 1 kHz \/ 15 dB at 15 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel balance: 1 dB at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking ability at 315 Hz: 100 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliance: 14 µm\/mN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC resistance: 1000 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInductance: 650 mH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended load resistance: 47 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended load capacitance: 200–600 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Stylus MKII Club fit my Concorde?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's made for the Concorde MKII Club and clicks directly onto its body. It doesn't fit the other MKII models (DJ, Mix, Scratch, Elite) or the Music line – each has its own stylus. Not sure which one you have? We'll match it to your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Stylus MKII Club a complete stylus or just the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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 individual diamonds, no tools. Pull the old unit off, click the new one on, keep playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I replace the stylus?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs soon as the sound turns dull, distortion appears, or the stylus looks visibly worn. As a rough guide, a few hundred hours depending on use. A worn stylus doesn't just sound worse – it can damage your records, so when in doubt, replace it sooner rather than later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Stylus MKII Club from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we'll tell you honestly whether the elliptical Club grind suits your use or whether a spherical stylus makes more sense. You get the genuine Ortofon original, not a copy, plus personal advice from Andy and Mauri in Wädenswil – so your wear part becomes a real upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/tonabnehmer\"\u003eCartridges\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/plattenspieler\"\u003eturntables\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/phono-vorverstarker\"\u003ephono preamps\u003c\/a\u003e from our range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52989548265808,"sku":"299421","price":69.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/3262\/8048\/files\/ortofon-concorde-mkii-stylus-club.jpg?v=1786630606","url":"https:\/\/hdzuerisee.ch\/en\/products\/ortofon-concorde-stylus-mkii-club","provider":"HD Zürisee AG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
