Who recommends which ones?

 

Ortofon concorde nighclub needles or the scratch needles and any of the Ortofon cartridges

I've always used Stanton 500 AL's, think they are really good, but some newer ones may be better.

 

thats my cart

 

 

whats your beef

yeee-hawwwwww

 

Can't afford the full-on ortofon nightclub ones, might just get the ortofon DJ. or summit

cheers for suggestions

 

I just bought the stanton 500L's too, cos mine had shite carts on...cheap n cheerful, but bloody great if you ask me!

Totally agree with Pony T and Neet - i've been using the 500AL's since i've had my decks and can honestly say i've never had any probs with them. Personally i found it difficult to get used to using the Concorde type stylus after so long of using my Stantons that i gave up, and to be honest, the sound quality isn't noticably better indoors anyway - extra money for nothing, as far as i'm concerned.

Never had a problem with my 505's.

Why ? How different can they be to use ? I've never had any trouble with my Concordes

Is this post a DJ thing?

of course it is - djs use carts to mix with

hell yes, hence it being in "DJs and Producers".

 

cheers for the suggestions everybody ... my needles do need replacing, and i could probably just get some new needles, full stop, end of story, but i thought since i was spending money anyway, i might as well "upgrade", so to speak, if it's worth it (from my stanton 500s). the ortofon's look good but not the nightclub ones, a tad too expensive for my budget.

 

would anyone recommend the stanton trackmasters?

 

concordes are the best, miles better than my 500's or the 505's

Concordes DJs are great for clubs with wooden floors that move around and make stantons jump. Stick like glue! Checkem out...

... But I use Stanton D5100AL-IIs or Just the 500-II. Works Good, sounds good, price good.

 

Good, Good, and Good.
