Turntable Cartridges

I have a Stanton STR8-30 that I use for sampling in my MPC1k. Is there a cartrige out there that will give me better quality?

definitly ..

ortofon om pro cartidges

good tracking and good sound

I use them to sample and scratch ...

I'm bout to drop some doe on a pair of ortofon..... I don't remimber the name of the cartrages but I think they were red. The price was about 130.00 a cartrage. I've got the name at the house.

I use the Shure M-447's, they have good quality and are good for scratching too.

I'm stuck between the Nightclub joints and the DJS. For now my tables will be for sudio work so I want exclent sound quality along w/ the ability to cut and scratch my records.

ive got the shure whitelabels.

Ive had some bassic shures (forgot ##) but they lasted and they wherent the good scratching ones.

shures last man.

But the whitelabels come with a case too. I mean, thats not really a selling point, but its a bonus. I take em off when im done working. Ive got friends who might **** with my table and i dont want them ruine!

but they sound good, clean.

Shure M44G DJ IS COOL on da cheap! ................also...............

If you really are looking for quality don't get any needle that advertises "good for scratching"

These needles MUST compromise sonic fidelity for rugged construction

Check out some audiophile carts for that superclean, flat response......

Damm now I'm stuck those M447 & the M443s are cheeper and look to be durable...... Yo MPC4000XL if these joints realy give you great recording sound I could put the money I saved tword my mixer....... I think I'm a run with the vastex Pro 07.

M44's are the way to go... Or some really nice Ortofon's... I like the M44's cause they give you the ability to get a nice full sound, but still give you some rugged construction so you can scratch them to hell without F*cking up your vinyl...

i dont know much about turntables but from what u guys are saying the needle has a big role in how good the record sounds. is that true? i bought my table at a pawn shop and im still using the needle that came with.
another thing....i recently moved my studio to another room and recently i've noticed a difference with my table. when i play records it seems to "mute" out the vocs and just play the instruments. now this is a blessing of course (for sampling) but at the same time i dont know what has happened. sometimes i like to just listen to LP's. from what i read in this post i'm wondering if the needle could have anything to do with this. any input??
