What is the best sampling cartridge on the market anyway?
I figured id pick up the ortofon because it comes with an extra stylus and i dont have to assemble it or anything, plus i hear it has a nice output level
The best sounding cartridges are usually ones that are NOT designed for DJing/cueing/scratching. They use really light tracking weight.
Make sure they have a frequency response of at least 20-20K.
