{"product_id":"ortofon-hifi-hifi-concorde-music-blue-395420","title":"CONCORDE MUSIC BLUE","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Hi-Fi Reference Designed as an Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis phono cartridge is designed as a qualitative improvement for turntables equipped with an MM standard phono input. It aims for a more detailed and nuanced sound than an entry-level cartridge, while remaining easy to integrate into a home setup. Its nude elliptical diamond and precision-oriented design make it a particularly relevant option to step up your Hi-Fi system without resorting to complex adjustments or constraints typical of more demanding systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rubber suspension, designed and manufactured by Ortofon, contributes to consistent tracking and regular playback, even on pressings of varying thicknesses. This coherence results in a more composed listening experience, with better handling of dynamic passages and a reduction of potential harshness in the highs when alignment and tracking force are properly set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For, and In What Listening Contexts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge is aimed at vinyl enthusiasts seeking a \u003cstrong\u003emore precise and musical Hi-Fi listening\u003c\/strong\u003e, whether on a living room system, a dedicated setup, or a listening corner near a record library. It is well suited for users who listen to detail-rich genres (jazz, classical, acoustic, well-produced pop), but it also performs comfortably with more rhythm-driven music thanks to good tracking ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is especially recommended if you want to gain clarity on micro-details (string attacks, reverberations, vocal nuances) and stereo image stability. In a well-adjusted configuration, it delivers cleaner bass, more articulated midrange, and finer highs, while maintaining pleasant reproduction over long sessions. For users seeking simple installation, compatibility with standard tonearm and MM preamp settings facilitates integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the design is a \u003cstrong\u003enude elliptical diamond\u003c\/strong\u003e paired with an \u003cstrong\u003ealuminum cantilever\u003c\/strong\u003e. This combination aims for precise groove reading with a good balance between definition and smoothness. The elliptical profile better \"tracks\" fine groove modulations than a basic stylus tip, resulting in better instrument separation and more credible spatial reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe internal structure relies on \u003cstrong\u003e4 coils\u003c\/strong\u003e mounted on \u003cstrong\u003esplit pole supports\u003c\/strong\u003e (2+ and 2-), an approach designed to optimize high-frequency response and stereo stability. The \u003cstrong\u003eoxygen-free silver-plated copper\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to signal transmission quality. Regarding measured performance, it features a frequency response of +2 \/ -1 dB, channel balance at 1 kHz of 1.5 dB, and channel separation at 1 kHz of 25 dB-values consistent with precise and well-centered listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the electrical compatibility is clearly oriented toward MM phono stages: recommended load resistance of 47 kOhm and recommended load capacitance of 150 to 300 pF. In practice, this means easy integration with the vast majority of domestic amplifiers and phono preamps, with enough adjustment margin to fine-tune tonal balance according to your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1
