Don't matter, what Concorde. I think, the element inside is nearly the same. All have straight contacts inside, but only some are with connectors, most are soldered to the SME contacts.

Using non B&O cartridge in B&O Turntables
26 replies
I’m not the sort who finds beauty in a Aston Martin that has been chopped up to use a short block Chevy engine, but maybe that sort of atrocity is just an American thing. I’d save up for a cart rebuild or a new Soundsmith, totally worth it.
Definitely! Soundsmith is nice, I have the SMMC4 on my 9500. It fits and sounds good, but it had already a faulty suspension after one and a half year. Mr. Ledermann at soundsmith swapped it as a gesture of goodwill. But when it will be necessary to change the cartridge again, I will modify the tonearm.
Hi,
I don't want sound like a whiny crying person asking for a handout but like I said my financial situation does not allow me to buy a 300+ Eur cartridge and stylus..... I make 150 Eur a month.
I just want to be able to use the TT... and afford a new stylus in the futrure when the old stylus breaks or givers up.
TY.
Just for reference:
MMC4 rebuild or exchange EUR 146
MMC4 rebuilt (sale) EUR 213
These MMC4 are 4-sided (new shape!) eliptical. Better than the original MMC4.

Welcome to the forum. I'm trying to fix it my
Beogram 5500 and change B&O cartridge. Will this cartridge be good?
Ortofon Concorde Mix MKll for rebuild.
Great idea Mr ProGram congratulation 🙂
Hi,
the DJ Concordes may be ok but not advisable. They have spherical tip and a tracking force of 3g. But the body will do its job and the needles are interchangeable. So you can use a better one like theOrtofon stylus 20 or 30
I have just adapted my Beogram 1102 arm to accept any OM stylus. A tricky little job but with a little patience it all worked out fine.
