Best needles for DVS and Vinyl?

Im not wrong fella. I'm right.

No, you're not.

As long as the DVS needle is sending a clean enough time code signal to the software then the software is simply communicating the audio file straight to the soundcard. The DVS is just telling the software where to play the song.

No, the quality of the needle doesn't affect the quality of the sound output from your software.

You're right in that the audio signal into the DVS affects tracking reliability, which is based on–among other things–stereo image of the time code signal. High tracking weight or a worn out needle impede tracking performance, more so in absolute mode than relative. And you're right in that the barrier for good enough is a lot lower than if you were playing the audio that the needle reads. But you're wrong in that it's irrelevant.
