Features
Created with passion, high technology, and close attention to detail, every feature of the Concorde ELITE brings you a limitless experience with the music you love.

The Concorde Elite features a new, special-molded stylus body with real gold plating, which adds luxury to the famous Concorde design. Encased by the gold is a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on a rigid Aluminum cantilever. The Nude Elliptical diamond stylus, normally used in HiFi cartridges, delivers a sound so powerful and detailed, that you will experience a remarkable level of live performance. The addition of a Nude Elliptical diamond allows a smaller moving mass, which guarantees an improved and detailed sound quality. The slim profile of the Nude Elliptical diamond makes it able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately, extract more intricate details and track even the highest frequency information.
