ChevChelios Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 nah man, a bit too pricey for me. Wanting to spend about 200-250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 your using tsp right, or will be then yeah you dont necessarily need to spend bigg. ive got 680.v3's and they work perfect for me and apparentally are well rounded carts. never looked at anything else. i know your mm47s are the hip hoppers choice. not sure why, maybe stable tracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevChelios Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Yeah I looked at those, not sure how they'd go on normal records though, cause I will still be playing normal vinyl as much as timecode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 chev check this article. talks about in terms of timecode, but also about the actual thruput of the needles (what is needed for normal vinyl).http://www.djtechtools.com/2010/05/19/c ... omparison/i woke up and this article came to mind.

ChevChelios Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Alright, decision has been made. Between reading that and an article on skratchwox I've decided to go with M44Gs. Not going with with 447s cause apparently they get a bit harsh on a big system, and have a slightly higher tendancy to wear records than the 44Gs.Oh and they're cheap as shit Thanks for yalls help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
