What kind of cartridge and stylus do YOU use?

[Mr Ektion]

And Why?

I use the Shure WhiteLabels. I got them as a gift and have never turned back.

shure M44-7s - best bang for the buck

[White><Light]

ortofon electros

because they are sexy

m44-7's - just what dj soo said ... and the fact they are solid.

When I had tables and still used vinyl > Shure M44-7s

Shure SC35C. They're reliable enough.

Workhorse Needle. Does the job and doesn't wear your Vinyl down as much as an Ortofon Nightclub etc.

Shure M44-7's holla! Solid, Reliable, Sounds Great.

[scue]

44-7

got one free

stable as balls

[normal josh]

i have a pair of m-447's that i use if im only playing wax.
i have one ortofon electro is im mixing wax and digital and then i use one of the shures just to scratch with.

you cant really mix digital and those m447's sounds way off, hence the ortofon, its the closest thing to line level i can find,

the "q-bert" thud-rumble from ortofon looks pretty nice too though, but seams that it will be a little bassy and loud ti mix with digital

Shure M44-7. Those needles are very skip proof. And durable, I bent the stylus and its still working very well. I wanna try the QBERT though.

I actually got to purchase the Qbert and I must say, that needle is loud as hell. The sound quality is really good though. Found that it even had more detailed sound than my M44-G. All in all, a worthwhile investment.
