ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT STYLUS
Restore your cartridge in seconds
The Ortofon Stylus CC MKII Scratch is the genuine replacement stylus for the Concorde MKII Scratch 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.
Maximum scratch performance, renewed
This stylus restores the Scratch cartridge’s class-leading 120 μm tracking ability and extra-high 10 mV output – so your chirps, transforms and crabs stay locked in the groove with explosive sound.
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.
How often should scratch DJs replace their stylus? Aggressive scratching wears styli faster than normal playback – active turntablists should inspect their stylus regularly and expect to replace it more frequently than the 800-1000 hour guideline.
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.
