The Ortofon Concorde series is designed for direct mounting on SME-style tonearms. These cartridges are commonly used with DJ-style turntables featuring S-shaped arms, such as Technics 1210 turntables, and can be easily slid onto the tonearm without the need for screws, unlike traditional cartridges. While they reflect their DJ heritage, these SME-style cartridges also deliver the high-fidelity audio quality desired by audiophiles.

The Concorde Music Blue

The Concorde Music Blue offers enhanced clarity with its precise design, allowing listeners to experience music as intended by the artist. Through its use of a nude elliptical stylus on an aluminum cantilever, the Concorde Music Blue gets you that much closer to the original sound. The lighter nude diamonds improve responsiveness, detail, and minimize distortion compared to their tipped counterparts. Whether transitioning from the Concorde Music Red or preparing for future vinyl upgrades, the Blue provides the perfect blend of affordability and quality.

  • Direct-Mounting for SME-Style Tonearms: Mounting directly into the tonearm from turntables manufactures like Technics, Audio Technica, Thorens and Pro-Ject's with S-Shape arms brings the high-fidelity audio experience back to its roots combining the sleek design and ease of use that made the original Concorde cartridges a game-changer in the hi-fi world.
  • Interchangeable Styli: As part of the versatile Concorde Music series, the stylus can be easily swapped, allowing audiophiles to tailor their listening experience to their preferences and upgrade through the series from Red to Black.

The Concorde Music series combines the sleek design and ease of use that made the original Concorde cartridges a revolutionary choice in the hi-fi world. It offers something for every individual and every genre, providing a superior upgrade path for enhancing your vinyl experience. Whether you're a long-time audiophile or a former DJ transitioning to home listening, the Concorde Music series ensures unparalleled sound quality and an immersive listening adventure.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.
