 Ortofon did good job with this one August 5, 2007

When I got my Technics SL1210MK5G i decided to go for the twins of those "GOLD" ones.
Why ? First of all, I want to have good cartridges from good company with the name. No any discussion about the price. The second, they are almost same as the other "Concordes", but, there is higher output, better tracking on plates, wider range.
So the "weight" on turntable is on 2,5-3,7 and the rest is 3,0-4,0 (and on SLs you are nearly on the end, no possible +/- for tracking force. GOLD is cappable to operate on less so you have option to add some in case of non stable mixing environment. You don't need to slide gains up for those so much, they are more sensitive then the other concorde types.
There are "S" or "E" versions of almost of all "Concordes" I am not sure which one is better (it depend if you "Scratch" often or not). Some of the "signed" or "limited editions" are pretty same, just some of the "technical aspects" are more developed for special intention.
If you are not so rich, there is also "Broadcast Twins" which are on same technical parameters as GOLD ones and designed for more hard application (open air events), I owned those too. In comparation you have to add 0,5 on weight and 0.1-0.3 on antiscate.
IMHO all concordes are not for newbies, so if you are one, wait for this piece after you learn how to mix, they need some care and replacement after 3-6 months. So learning really hurt them and you just pay more for replacements of stylus, which is not so cheap afterwards. Some default Stantons "tractors" are maybe better if you are starting.
My settings of those are for "techno/acid"
height of sashi = 1mm
weight(tracking force) = 2,8
antiscating = 2,5
for "hiphop/scratching"
height of sashi = 4mm
weight(tracking force) = 3,5
antiscating = various ...
for "hardcore/breakcore"
height of sashi = 1mm
weight(tracking force) = 3,7
antiscating = 4,0
 It's an elliptical stylus, too. August 11, 2008

I just wanted to add some information missing from the previous review. Ordinarily, the "S" on an Ortofon stylus designates it as a spherical tip, while an "E" designates it as an elliptical tip. The "S" styli tend to be used for scratching since they lend themselves better to backwards play, but (apparently) elliptical tips can be used with success.
