Anyone tried the Ortofon Concorde century Cartridge?

hifi dido.

Dear @knollbrent  : ""   have the experience listening to these glorious analog pieces as he does. """

You are a newcomer/rookie, rigth? because all the gentlemans that posted in that linked thread have the experiences with those glorious vintage MM/MI cartridge, me between them.

He really has no deep experiences about and he has not the rigth room/system to make any cartridge can shows at its best, unfortunastelly his system is rounding in the mediocrity/average level.

He is very good photografer and very good " sealing " through internet and you can buy all the cartridges you already bougth if you go to Yahoo Japan auctions and you can get for at least 50% off what you paid for or through HI Dido too.But that's not the main issue.

Experience say you?: this is one of his last post in Agon in this thread where the main issue under discussion was/is cable capacitance and he said this " experienced " advise:

Dear @knollbrent : Look, first than all I’m not insuklting any one and I don’t posted nothing that many Agoners already knew about.

Now, iof you go to an audio store trying to buy some audio items the sellers down there normalyy will "care " to give you advise ( first than all. ) on the audio items that gives them the higher margin of $$$ no matters what because that’s a busines$ and its way of life.

Only a very few sellers really take care of your true needs with out think in $$$ as first target and that seller is exactly the same.

I started that thread in 2008 and that seller started in Agon in 2010. I always support vintage cartridges but that does not means that I know that today designs are truly excellent and you can be sure that each time you need the manufacturer today models support in any way you will have it. Something you can’t have from vintage MM cartridges because normally we can’t find out new stylus replacements and even if we find out vintage could has problems that we can’t know: suspension, coils, alignment and the like.

I like to help any gentleman that post here and I try to do it in the best way I can.

Now, if he is a seller as you confirm it why does not disclose it. Do you know why? because then the moderators can banned from his " free " audio store named Agon.

What he does is dishonest and even that I never report it about and I don’t care to do it. It's dishonest too because if some one ask for vintage MM cartridgesthat he does not sells then he posted here that those cartridges he does not carry on are not good enough or have several false " problems " and the like and never says that LOMC ( vintage or not ) are good as no MM can be.

Dear @aberyclark  : for to many years to remember now and as @mikelavigne  I owned and own Ortofon cartridges along other over 150-200 MM/MI/IM/MC cartridges.

Ortofon is a warranty of excellence and nothing more and always will be " there " for you in the future as you need it.

I owned de Concorde good cartridge for those times.

Don't be worried about and go a head with it and take advantage of that offer you have.

chackster is a seller so do not take very seriously because he is not taking care of you but only your $$$$
