Ortofon Concorde MK II CLUB Reviews

As Expected

I did a lot of research and all roads led to purchasing the MKII Club for a thumpier sound when playing and recording 12 inch records. Definitely a bit pricier but well worth it.

Probably the best-sounding cartridge that allows back-cueing

I've been testing carts for my two-table setup. I purchased the MKII Club a couple of days ago, got it today, set it up, and within seconds I knew I found THE ONE and I needed to grab another immediately. I A/B'd it in real-time against an Ortofon 2M Red on identical turntables playing two pristine copies of the same records, same phono preamps, same mixer, same amp and speakers. It sounds beautiful; the low end is punchier and the high end sounds more airy, more detailed, and less sibilant than the 2M Red. I did not expect that; I was hoping to get close but it turns out the MKII Club sounds better than a 2M Red and pretty close to an Ortofon 2M Blue, AND you can back-cue with it without trashing your vinyl or having the tonearm jump all over the place. I didn't think that was possible. If you're hesitating because it's a few more bucks than the spherical Ortofon carts; as long as you're not Kid Koala or Qbert, I say go for it.
