Ortofon Book Review “A Century of Accuracy in Sound” – Fantastic if pricey
A century in business is quite a milestone, and gives great material to tell a story. Thus Ortofon has a made a book to celebrate their 100 years of carts and stuff.

Ortofon celebrated their 100th birthday by unleashing the Concorde MKII DJ cartridges, coincidentally the same year that Shure said they'd had enough of the whole thing. Drew Bach tries out the MIX MKII and CLUB MKII to see if a birthday party is in order.
Ortofon is celebrating its 100th birthday with a reinvention of its flagship Concorde cart. The MKII comes in 5 striking models that broadly match the needs and wallets of DJs. A key element of the new model is the replaceable lifter, meaning no more low rent fixes with plastic ties.
Reloop taps into Orfoton's considerable cart skills, and brings out the Reloop Vibe — an elliptical stylussed (is the even a word?) Concorde cart for DJs.
If you're in the market for those cool new Reloop turntables, why not match them up with Ortofon based Reloop cartridges too. They're in shops now.
While vinyl may be going the way of VHS, DJs are still hanging in there. And Ortofon hooked up with Serato to bring one last push of inventiveness to the technology. The S120 is a gem of a cart, and I tore it apart to explain it.
