Ortofon Concorde help

C-Biz · #1 (**permalink**) Oct 17, 06

So Ive been using the Concordes for a while now and I like them a lot. But I cant help but think that they could be a bit grippyer. I got the Qbert styli on there now because I keep on hearing about how well they hold a groove...

Im thinkin my tonearm height / needle weight isnt quite right? Im at about 3.25g and the height is 3mm. (0 anti-skating)

Anyone have suggestions or comments? Thanks alot

How long you been using them? You need to break them in ...

yup, it takes about a month for the needle to break in properly. ortofons are sensitive.

Ive been using em pretty heavily for like a month. Its not like they are bad just not what I'd hoped, maybe itll get better with more use.

Try lowering your height. Mine is very low

Your tone arm should be horizontal when the needle sits on the record. Which one of the concordes are u using?
