Ortofon Concorde EC 10
Brand: Ortofon
The Ortofon Concorde EC 10 is a high-performance moving coil cartridge designed for use with generator transformers in low-output MC phono stages. It features a relatively low output level of 0.2 mV, making it particularly suited for use with high-gain, low-noise MC stages to extract maximum detail and tonal accuracy from vinyl records. The Concorde EC 10's needle (stylus) is a Low-Tracking-Force (LTF) diamond with a grinding process that optimizes theico crystal's contact area, providing excellent tracking and reduced distortion. The cartridge also benefits from Ortofon's proprietary winding technique, which ensures low distortion and a high level of microdetail retrieval, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking the finest possible vinyl playback experience. Due to its specialized application requirements, the Ortofon Concorde EC 10 is typically recommended for use with precise matching MC stages equipped with a step-up transformer.
