Replacement Stylus Diamond CC ANNIVERSARY 40

The Stylus CC ANNIVERSARY 40 from Ortofon is a replacement diamond specifically designed for the Concorde 40 Anniversary cartridges. This product stands out for its advanced technical features and its ability to offer a high-fidelity listening experience for vinyl enthusiasts. Here is a detailed presentation of this product, covering all important aspects.

Nude Elliptical Diamond

The nude elliptical diamond of the Stylus CC ANNIVERSARY 40 is designed to offer better groove tracking precision compared to conical diamonds. The elliptical shape allows for a larger contact area with the groove walls, resulting in more detailed sound reproduction and less distortion. This design is particularly appreciated by audiophiles for its ability to extract subtle nuances from recordings.

Tracking Force

The vertical tracking force (VTF) of the Stylus CC ANNIVERSARY 40 can be adjusted to match the manufacturer’s specifications, typically between 1.5 and 2.0 grams. A properly set VTF ensures that the diamond stays in contact with the groove without skipping or causing damage to the record.

Tracking Angle

The tracking angle of the Stylus CC ANNIVERSARY 40 is 20°. This angle is important to ensure that the stylus correctly follows the record grooves, resulting in better sound quality and reduced distortion.

Compatibility and Installation

The Stylus CC ANNIVERSARY 40 is compatible with Ortofon Concorde cartridges, a popular range of integrated cartridges among DJs and audiophiles. Installing this diamond is simple and does not require special tools, allowing users to easily replace their old diamond.
