    Cool

    cheers, many thanks the advice.

    I've just been reading up on the 2M Blue and I was thinking that could a good choice, from what I've read.

    So now I'm facing a choice of 2M Blue, or Concorde with 30 (or 20 even) stylus.

    Must admit the 2M Blue does look pretty cool

    I think 2M Blue is better than Concorde with 20 stylus (same stylus but better body). With 30 stylus the difference may be less apparent, but it will be more expensive than the 2M Blue, so maybe less value for money.

    Well after reading just about everything I could find on the subject I decided to go with my original plan, and I've ordered a 30 Stylus for my Concorde body.

    Quite a few people said that it works well on the Technics with a tone arm damper , which I have on order.

    Kevin from Kab seems to like it.

    I did consider getting a Nagoaka Mp110, but I just worry that was a bit too cheap, and then there was the MP200 will seems like the perfect cart, but its the thought of spending £280 or so a replacement stylus should mine get broken that really worries me. and my wife always puts the stylus down on a record the same way that Ryanair pilots land planes , but saying that I have told her she's banned from using it when I get the stylus....

    Cheers all.

    Cheers, I'll let you know how it goes.

    I did think about the 2M Blue but it was pretty much the same price as a Stylus 30 for my concorde, I paid £175 for it, and the 2m Blues are £169, and I did read a review where the reviewer tried the stylus on a super OM body and actually thought it sounded better on the concorde body, so Im hoping that's the case, but if that's wrong, then its always an option to get a super OM body,
