Reloop Concorde Vibe - premium DJ cartridge
The Concorde Vibe is focused purely on sound quality, made by the experts at Ortofon. Its elliptical diamond stylus makes maximum contact with the record groove for rich, detailed reproduction, while a high output level and flat frequency response make it ideal for club and studio use. Wherever you play, hear the Vibe.
Staff take: the expert verdict
The Concorde Vibe is the one we point sound-focused DJs and vinyl lovers towards. The elliptical stylus is the key difference - it sits deeper and more accurately in the groove than the spherical styli on the other Concordes, pulling out detail and a flatter, more hi-fi frequency response that really shows on a good system. With high 8 mV output it still cuts through in a club, but this is the Concorde to pick when sound quality comes first. Note the elliptical stylus is best kept for playback rather than heavy scratching.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Vibe sound better than the other Concordes? It uses an elliptical stylus that makes greater, more accurate contact with the groove, giving richer detail and a flatter frequency response than spherical styli.
Is the Vibe good for scratching? It is optimised for sound quality and club/studio playback; elliptical styli are generally best kept for playback rather than heavy scratching, where a spherical stylus like the Blue is more suitable.
Can I replace just the stylus? Yes - the elliptical stylus is removable and available separately as the Stylus Vibe.
Does it fit my turntable? It fits SME-style tonearms via the direct Concorde mounting found on most DJ turntables.
