ortofon cartridges?

Post by Rochey »

Are the cartridges universal

I have some pro s carts & styli. Can I just buy Some nightclub E styli & them work on it?

Or do I need to buy new carts aswell?

I imagine I can. Is the nightclub e cart any different to the pro s 1?

i guess there would be a difference otherwise they would just sell some universal cartridge. but i'm no expert and i wouldn't risk it if something gets damaged.

99% sure they're incompatible. those stylii and carts are matched for certain things like output and tracking force.

you can change it, and you wont fck up anything except your sound.
the only difference is the sound quality,

like previous said, the bodys are optimized for the stylus so you have worse sound quality then before.

and in addition the Nightclub E MKII is based on a new cartridge concept, so there is really no sens in buying a Nightclub and put it on a Pro S body

you CAN

but why the hell would you do that?!?!

The Reason why you buy a Nightclub Stylus in the first place is because of its Sound

and this Sound is only achieved with the correct Nightclub Body
