Could I upgrade my old Pro cartridge sound by using a DJ S stylus? The DJ S has a slightly higher output (6mv as opposed to 5mv for the Pro) and tracks at a lower weight. I have used the Pro S stylus on the Pro cart with no issues.
I just use whatever i can get cheap, i get through so many over the years. F it. Sort of good to know though. thanks. Does anyone know if an OM stylus will fit a concord?
We do not recommend that: physically, each series of DJ styli for Concorde MkII models will fit on alternate cartridge bodies. However, these combinations are not supported by Ortofon, as each cartridge series is designed with a synergistic combination in mind - that is, each stylus is made to compliment the magnet and coil configuration of each cartridge body. Using alternative stylus model with MIX body will not provide the full benefit of either product, and might even provide undesired results, including (but not limited to) differences in output, unbalanced sound reproduction.
Serato S-120 cartridges and styli were discontinued for 3 years ago and are no longer manufactured. As a replacement for S-120, stylus Q.Bert can be recommended www.ortofon.com/stylus-q-bert-p-255-n-2807: 1. Q.Bert fits physically both the Concorde S-120 and the OM S-120, tracks up to 10 μm and has a high output 11 mV. 2. Q.Bert tracking force range 2.0 - 4.0 g and tracking force recommended 3.0 g. 3. Q.Bert doesn't require use of additional rubber weight for Concorde, nor addition weight in brass for OM (additional weights have been supplied with S-120 cartridges).
