Ortofon Concorde MkII Mix — cartridge and replacement stylus
Representative of the Concorde MkII DJ family (Mix/Club/Digital/Scratch); the integrated headshell twists straight into an S-arm bayonet — no half-inch hardware. Each MkII variant has its own replacement stylus (~$60–100). Ortofon's ~1,000 h figure assumes hi-fi conditions; club/scratch use wears much faster.
Ortofon cites approximately 1,000 hours of stylus life. Actual service life varies with tracking force, record condition, cleaning and use.
