ortofon
i currently use Ortofon Concorde Gold with Qbert stylus. Bought used but in mint condition to replaced the aging & looks rusty Stanton AL500mk2 that comes together with my 1210mk2 during purchase.
I dont scratch & barely mix with my turntable since i only have 1 unit of 1210, only used for record listening. Sound quality is really good, the output is loud compared to the old cart/stylus & sometimes line in cd players.
i got the shure m44g, muuuuch less skipping than the old stanton al-500 mk2 i’ve got left on the other turntable… couldn’t get the m44-7 because someone cracked the needle at the shop and it was the last one. anyway i’m happy with what i’ve got for now, just like someone said i can change the needle later because its the same cartridge.
how often do you change needles?
Thats odd. I have ortofon DJ S’s and never had an issue with timecode playback.
What exactly do u mean by unreliable? Just curious
Nobody uses whitelables? I’ve got them and love them. With regular vinyl they sound nice, and with timecode they track beautifully. They pick up the lows pretty good, and sound great with scratching…but I can’t scratch.
