I have Ortofon, cant remember what model, they were about $100 each just for the stylus.
I have no problems with them, they are pretty good, not the best for scratching, but great for trance. Really good sound and ive had them for well over 6months now! So they last a while ;) |

I use shure whitelabels, They are good cartridges, good sound quality, stylii have lasted me about 2-3 months so far and they dont need changing (usually with stantons id be buying packs of stylii every 3/4 months) yet. However they are expensive, and if you dont have the money then id stick with the stantons for another few months and save up. I got my whitelabels for 330 for the pair.
Headphones, I use pioneer hdj1000s. Really comfy phones, priced relatively nicely, i got mine for 240. However before that i was using 60 dollar sony's and again unless youve got the cash available or your in a huge rush because you need to play out somewhere, then i wouldnt bother. Of course the sound is a lot better on the Pioneers, and the noise cancellation is a lot better, but if they are just for home use then thats not overly important imo. |

Spot on.
I too use both the white labels and the HDJ1000s.
The sound on the Shure's are very clean and indeed provide less tear on your vinyls.
And the good thing I like about the 1000's are that they are very flexible, and you could pretty much have them placed in any way you like, without straining them!
I got my pair for $340 as Rob said, but that was in August - you should be able to get them for about $300 now? And the Pioneers, use your bargining skills with Central Station, they should do them for about $200 - 220.

I use Ortofon Concorde DJ E, I think they are about $180 each, they are not quite as good as the Nightclubs but I can't justify spending another 50-60 per cart for a relatively small increase in performance. They sound good and they track well.
Headphones, I have Sennheiser HD25's, they sound incredible and kill an insane amount of external sound. |

Cool, well i'm going to use the headphones for all rounders, club and home... so i should go with Pioneers Hdj1000s? Also has one got a pic of this headphone?
Now the shure whitelabels, Do CSR have these? how much are the stylii once they actually wear out?
Because even though my Stanton one is still under warrenty, they still said no in replacing the stylii. They said it would cost 80 bucks for the Stanton stylii...Now the first Stanton stylii i had only lasted a week :(, so i have to try and pick a whole cartridge and stylii that will last me more than that :p
Thanx everyone, much appreciated :)
Time to go shopping :clown: |
