I cannot say enough about the KAB Concorde STY40 combo


I purchased one to add to my cartridge collection. This cartridge was spot on with all alignment, etc. I just had to adjust the arm level and tracking force. Most reviews say this combo is a 2m Black in a Concorde configuration at $300 cheaper. For my system (1200GR, ELAC PPA2 phono pre), this cartridge is the best all-rounder since I listen to all kinds of music. I highly suggest if you are looking for a cartridge for your 1200 series turntable. I know there are some who do not recommend the audiophile (non DJ) Concordes. I, however, as quite impressed.

I have an older Concorde that's black, I got it when I purchased my SL-1210MKII, which was used to DJ.  I had an OM40 stylus which I used with a used Ortofon OMP 10 (P-Mount) on a Technics SL-10.  I mated the OM40 to the Concorde and currently use it with an SL-1800MKII.  I use it mostly with new or very pristine used Lps, it seems to pick up a lot of surface noise.  With the right recording the darn thing is magic.
