Good cartridge!
By Higor Nunes M. Carlos
I bought this cartridge to use it with an old Technics SL-1300 turntable (connected to an Onkyo TX-8555 stereo receicer).I don't rip anything with it, I only wanted a concorde cartridge, just because I wouldn't have to mount it on the headshell, etc (those screws, nuts and wires are too small for me), the Arkiv seems to be the most apropriate concorde cartridge from Ortofon for common/home listening (am I right?).I had some problem adjusting tracking force and anti-skating at the beginning (sound was sibling a little and there were so many skips), the recomended weight and anti-skating didn't work very well here. I'd have liked to have a gauge here to check if there's something different with the weignht scale of the turntable...The sound is great now! And it doesn't skip without cause anymore.I recomend it!You need an "S" arm to use a concorde cartridge (it's good to remember).

Too loud on most systems.
By JamesBE
This thing runs hot. Unless you have a high-end pre-amp then it's probably going to cause clipping. If you can get it to work, however, it sounds great.

High Sound Quality
By Steve Fisher
I ordered this cartridge to use on an American Audio USB turntable American Audio Recording Turntable. Unit records onto flash memory and is converted to a digital format. Record from 128 to 256kbps. I've sold Ortofon cartridges years ago when I sold high-end stereo, and was familiar with their sound qualities, which is why I chose the brand name. It's an elliptical stylus which gets deeper into the record groove for better sound. This cartridge has pleasing sound from low-end to high-end.
