ruggs Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 the club i play at has technics 1200's and i was thinking of buy some cartridges and having a go on them with serato i've used my mates 1200's a fair bit so i no what to do...this is going to be a two part question...1. what are some decent cartridges without breaking the budget as i won't use them every week?2. whats a decent turntable (thats not a technics 1200 ) that i can just muck around at home but still has decent torque.

wazza Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 for my time code vinyl set-up...I use Stanton scratchmaster v3 MP4 pac....I like them better than the shure 477....the 447 eat the grooves out off your time code vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Raptor Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 i've seen the ortofon cartridges but they are pretty expensive was thinking maybe the shure ones.is there gonna be much of a difference?The reason I like the Concorde's are that they are very slimline and you can see exactly where on the record you are up to. the chunky block style carts can be a pain in that regard.Dont know if im crazy, but ive always found the chunky style carts to produce a bassier sound, probably because there is more weight on the needle.
