This year, Ortofon celebrates the centenary of its foundation: 100 years of leadership in the worlds of audio and microengineering which, in line with what the Danish firm has done in other relevant events, invited it to create special versions of some of its most popular products. emblematic. And so it has been with the Concorde, of which a limited edition version - 1,000 copies for the entire world - has been developed specifically for High Fidelity applications: the Concorde Century. In terms of engineering, the Concorde Century stands out for using silver-plated copper cables and a Nude Fine Line diamond tip, whose slim profile will allow it to follow even the most complex high-frequency information, as corroborated by a curve of virtually flat frequency response between 20 and 20,000 Hz and cut-off point greater than -3 dB at 29,000 Hz. Likewise, the larger dimensions of the end that houses the reading needle ensure less distortion and less groove wear. The result is a very complete, relaxed and homogeneous sound that exhibits spatiality, depth and detail in equal parts for a very seductive price.
