High tracking force, excellent tracking – the stylus stays in the groove where others jump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePunchy, loud level with rich bass and secure grip – tuned for stability, not audiophile finesse. Exactly what matters for scratching and cueing: the stylus sticks in the groove, however rough it gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Stylus MKII Scratch for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor turntablists and scratch DJs who need maximum groove grip and high level. Plain talk: the spherical Scratch profile isn't meant for audiophile HiFi listening – that's what the Music series is for.

It doesn't fit other MKII models (DJ, Mix, Club, Elite) or the Music series – those each have their own stylus. Not sure? We'll check it for your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Stylus MKII Scratch a complete stylus or just the diamond?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA complete stylus unit. With 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 in individual diamonds, no tools needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the Scratch have such a high output voltage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 mV provides plenty of level and drive – important for scratching, back-cueing and bass-heavy material, where the stylus has to stay securely in the groove. Combined with the higher tracking force, this makes the Scratch especially resistant to skipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Stylus MKII Scratch at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we know what DJ styli have to withstand under heavy use, and we supply you the original instead of a copy.
