rbs Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 I've posted this before...But I need to check any new updates or change of preferences. I am looking for cartridges to use, beat up, scratch with, etc... but still sound good. I am on my last cartridge which is the original one I bought GrooveMaster II by Stanton...Has lasted me almost 9 years maybe 10. So let's hear it.

Guest lyrik Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Shure Whitelables - all the way for me - LOVE them...had stantons (I, II etc.) Ortofon...and IMO the shure have the best bass response and tracking for the money...you can get them for about $109 a piece on ebay...never had a problem and they are durable as all hell.

Guest tres-b Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Stanton 680HPs but Im considering a switch.Any of you use the Roger Sanchez Trackmasters? I like them for a variety of reasons but would like someone who has used them for an extended period to give me some feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your scratching these are the best for traction, ask any turntablist and they'll tell you. I'd like to try the white label, curious to see how their sound compares to the 44-7s.

Also used a Stanton 890 for a while too. Not as well known as the 680 but much better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lyrik Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 ---Well, I don't scratch but my choice would be...I have these - didn't suit me..but then again other like them. I moved away from those after about 7 months.

Guest pod Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Koetsu cartridges. Not really for DJing, but for the best playback of vinyl. Bear in mind they'll set you back $7500. http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/koetsu.htmlCheck out the rest of the site too if you're a hardcore vinyl fiend.
