Cart! Stylus and head shell upgrade

[ekwipt]

Don't mind spending the extra $, it's definitely a split between the two

another quick question here,

i'm about to buy another ortofon concorde cart since the old stanton AL500ii which comes together with my 1st deck has been busted in one channel...the other deck has an ortofon concorde gold cart which i bought used (new price is just insane)

i'm liking the concorde style stylus, hence i'm looking at Pro S which is the cheapest among all. it will not be uniform to my other deck, but is there any significant sound/loudness different since i'm using the same brand? still pretty noob in this cartridge business...many thanks in advance!

Using Shure Whitelabels. Sound great and are good for scratching with my Str8 150's.

They got recommended to me on here & DJForums and I cant complain. Ive never needed another cartridge, theyre great!

which one did you use?

which one did you use?

sure m44-7's. The white ones.

I think theyre in need of replacing now though, vinyl isnt sounding so good. Theyve lasted a good 2 years though!

^ nice

well i just ordered Ortofon Concorde Pro S since it's pretty foolproof (did not have the gauge at all)...lot's of people use them & i believe the loudness will be the same with the other Concord Gold i have on the other deck..

M44-7 mounted with the original Technics headshell. Match made perfect!

I use either Stanton Trackmaster.V3 or Shure Whitelabel cartridges on my Stanton ST.150 turntables. Both track well for the scratching and beat juggling I do. However, I am not a diehard turntablist and mostly focus on mixing.
