Ortofon Arkiv Concorde Cartridge & Spare Stylus
Probably the best sounding concorde Ortofon have ever made.
This was bought just before Ortofon ceased production and was used only occasionally. I was waiting to afford to buy a second for Dj’ing, but by that time they had stopped making them. Therefore I am now selling it on.
Cartridge and 1 x stylus not more than 40 hours use. Spare stylus is new.
$230 ono + Int’l postage, prob in the region of $20 from UK
