Turnable needles.

[bartboy]

Looking for some recommendations for needles for my new turntables. I'm not looking to scratch with them but I mayst some point like too. I have heard everyone recommend ortofon but they make many different kinds. What are you opioins on a good all around pair of needles? My price range is anywhere from 50-150$ I would like to stay under 100$ if possible.

I'd recommend Ortofon Pro/Pro S or Ortofon Dj.
Shure M44-7's are not made for mixing.

shure m44-g

you can mix and scratch with it and it will have less record wear than the ortofons, which require more tracking force.

Or Shure Whitelabels, almost no record wear either

Shure M44-7's all the way.

Ortofon hands down! Expensive but replacement stylus' are cheaper compared to others on the market.

I was a little un-convinced at first about the needles for their price range, had a go on a set in the record shop and was SOLD!

I prefer the Shures to the Ortofons. Though it depends which ortofons you're looking at of course, but they do have a slight sound quality edge. But the Shures are more reliable in terms of record wear and they sound pretty damn good anyway.

And it's a personal preference but I do not like Concorde style needles. You can get the Ortofons in regular style though if you're like me that way. But I still prefer the Shures

Go for Ortofon Elektro carts if you play EDM.
