this is what i grew up on 30yrs ago,50 bucks now has great sound .





if your goin to dj with them any dj needle will do ,any of the dj needle out today ,IMHO. but for just listen and enjoyin your records these two i posted are the shi+, i my self if i had the money would buy the top one .

i use stanton track masters for djing and sampling i have 4 of them, and i have 1 ortofon club dj blue, i just got 1 shure m44-7 but i have yet to hook it up , plus i got 2 pickerings that i made back in 85 they still work too.and i have to buy a AudioTechnica stylus for this 1 i have that needs replacing the stylus.

every needle is for different things but they will all do the same, i DGF as long as it dont fuc my records up it's all good, and i have t get good sound....a must.

thats me tho

I just want one with a good frequency response i can use for getting clean samples. what's up with those ortophones? they any good? i was listening to my homies records @ his house with them, they sounded real clean.

yeah there OK,IMHO.

but it realy colors the sound, it's a thicker stylus as there useed for scrtaching and djing in clubs, there pretty popular.

check www.needledoctor.com and you can check the spec's on all the needle there, if you buy from them tell them Eddie from NEEDLE TO THE GROOVE RECORD SHOP recommend you .
