I vote for the concorde. They have slightly less dynamics and less freq range (in the highs) than the "thin" needles you find on many traditional cartridges. But good tracking, good low freq etc makes it my choice.

Default Needles

There was a time when Pickering and Shure were the cartridges/needles to get, but the Orthophon Concorde Pro is the way to go!
