Turnable needles.

[R2D2]

Best needles I ever owned where Ortofon scratch concords never had a needle hold the groove like them

Only heard good things about shures tbh cheaper to !


Would not worry about record wear if your using timecode though timecode is disposable some real wax aint :eek:

Go for Ortofon Elektro carts if you play EDM.

I got these!

Like em a lot!

I scratch with them mainly tho....Had the Stanton Scratchmaster V3's....but they were destroyed.....with my tone arms...on my old decks.

They were rock solid.

Dunno about the wearing of records tho....don;t use it that much to be able to notice.

I have a pair of Ortofon Concorde DJS that came with my Technics and they work just fine, not tried a lot of different ones though if I'm honest.

Any SSL users tried the Ortofon S120's?

Curious as to how they stack up

Not a word about how they scratch. Shame.

Shure M44-7's are not made for mixing.

disagree, they are best for everything.

I'm pretty sure that from the perspective of a strictly techno / house music DJ certain needles produce a more quality sound than the 447's, and to them it's really important to have the bestest quality sound.
Personally, I like the durability of the 447's, and for scratching they are fantastic.

However, they weren't made for mixing....I just tried to mix two records with them and everything exploded. So gutted right now.

Honestly if you're just using time code I wouldn't worry much about needles at all. Cheap Stantons will do you just fine and save you a lot of money. Tracking is better in some needles so if you're scratching a lot you want needles that won't jump out of the grooves but sound quality is pretty much a non issue as is record wear.

I'll be playing with mostly timecode but I may mix in a few vinyls. I have slowly been rebuilding my collection and have purchased about 500 records from record stores that were closing but at least I got what they had left.
