my 0.02 - everyone's all about ortofons, but i've had a pair for a couple years (silver concordes) and can't say that i'm entirely pleased with'em. they have this recurring problem i've heard a number of people bitch about with the contacts between the headshell/tonearm. sound sometimes goes out in one channel, buzzing etc. random funk etc. - the older/grimier a setup you're playing on, the worse it gets. i keep my tables at home in good shape and even they've started doing this recently with my ortofon cartridges. there are ways to troubleshoot, but who wants to bother with licking the ends of cartridges or rubbing frantically with a pencil eraser trying to clean the contacts when you're out at a gig and the dj's record before you is about to end?!? other than that - i have no beef, they sound good for the money, but damn are they temperamental when it comes to this kinda thing...brock ===== Brock Phillips Motormouthmedia 2525 Hyperion Ave. #1 Los Angeles, CA 90027 fon 323.662.3865 fax 323.662.3844 email bmotor@pacbell.net __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
