Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Two black PLX-500 direct-drive turntables are matched with an Ortofon Concorde Club MKII twin pack for a complete two-deck vinyl arrangement. Each deck has switchable phono/line RCA output for a sound system or powered speakers, plus USB Type-B for PC or Mac recording with rekordbox. The Club cartridges use special elliptical styli, deliver 8 mV output, and specify 3.0 g tracking force. Their larger cutouts aid needle placement in low light, and the package includes an aluminum flight case for the cartridge pair.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Preparing two-deck vinyl sets with 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm playback options.
  • Making WAV copies of records on a PC or Mac through USB and rekordbox.
  • Needle placement in dim performance areas using the cartridges’ larger stylus cutouts.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Setups that specifically require spherical styli; the Club cartridges use special elliptical styli.
