true...  I use the blue & the pink ortofon concordes, & yes these things
like never skip.  Another nice thing about them is that they have a good
amount of weight to them which IMO gives a feel of better control when
placing it on the platter.

In regards it competitors; the shure's give great sound & dare I say...
maybe even better clarity!?!?  The stanton trackmaster's have about the same
sound as the ortofon's except that they lack that quality feel.

But then again, I'm getting away from the most important factor...  the
_ORTOFONS_ will make you look as cool as the Cat_IN_the_Hat.
