Ortofon Stylus CC MKII Elite

Restore your cartridge in seconds

The Ortofon Stylus CC MKII Elite is the genuine replacement stylus for the Concorde MKII Elite cartridge. When your stylus wears out, there is no need to buy a whole new cartridge – simply pull off the old stylus and click on the new one. No tools, no realignment, no downtime.

Designed for a perfect fit

The replacement stylus offers tactile feedback when seating, so you can feel the snug, secure fit the moment it clicks into place. A cut-out area at the front gives you a clear view of the needle, allowing far more accurate needle drops during cueing and live performance.

Flagship performance, renewed

This stylus restores the Elite’s HiFi-grade Nude Elliptical diamond and the warm tone, big dynamics and charged soundstage that set the flagship apart. A far more economical option than replacing the gold-plated cartridge itself.

Genuine Ortofon quality

Only a genuine Ortofon stylus restores your cartridge to its exact original specifications. Ortofon recommends replacing the stylus after approximately 800-1000 playing hours to keep both your sound and your records in top condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when to replace my stylus? Typical signs are duller sound, increased distortion, sibilance or skipping. As a rule of thumb, replace the stylus after roughly 800-1000 playing hours.

Is it hard to install? No – pull the old stylus off the cartridge body and click the new one on. The tactile seating feedback confirms a secure fit. No tools or alignment needed.

Can I use the Elite stylus for scratching? No – the fine Nude Elliptical diamond is designed for accurate listening, not heavy back-cueing or scratching.

Will a worn stylus damage my records? Yes – a worn diamond gradually wears down the groove walls. Replacing the stylus on time protects both your sound quality and your vinyl collection.
