<~~~~~~~ Loves his techs pitched 16 over, it is the only way to go if you play HHC. But i would recomend to do it after your warranty expires.

I've had 2 626's and found they're ok for a budget mixer. I've got ortofon cartridges and they never skip, but at £90 a pair then they might be a bit out of your range. 
Would Tommy Kirkwood, and Lynne come to the surge tent out front immediately, this is proper urgent.

ortofons suck butt. They eat your records up and thier sound reproduction is a joke. You need to get the shure M44-G These are the best carts. out there, other than the Shure M44-7.

Are you talking about the same ortofons as me? I'm talking about concordes, often thought of as one of the best cartridges available with excellent sound reproduction.

yes we are talking about the same needles, the DJ's They eat your records up alot!!! However ortofon just released a revised version of all thier needles, I do not know how these ones match up compared to their older ones. But yeah ortofons are not the choice if you tend to play your records alot. The ortofon Night Club are AWSOME for recording though. I do have to give them that. But if you want your tracks to last a long time with hardley any sound loss, you shoud invest in the Shure M44-G, and if you scratch there is no better needle than the Shure M44-7. And as far as ortofons and record wear, I have experieced it first hand. With only 2.5 grams of weight ever ran, and skating at 0.

actually i'm just curious about something, and i figure this thread would be a good place to start...
someday i'd love to have the cash to get decks and learn to dj the happycore *purrrs*
but in the mean time! i'm poor and actually just ordered my first vinyl ever... (til the day ;)
i've actually got.. 2 turntables in my house.. just old crap from when my uncle was an audiophile i think... they of course have nothing for djing... in fact only one of them has +/- 10 pitch.. and it's a lil dial that's hidden away, lol
anyhoo! the point is, they haven't been used in a long ass time! and before i put til the day in (when i get it, lol) i'm thinking its gonna need at the very least a new needle... (mom doesn't want any lp's put in till it has one either, lol)
and... of course i'd like to be able to use one, just to listen to vinyl as i collect em ;)
anyhoo dunno if it matters but...
one is a 'C.E.C Chou Denki' direct drive... st630..... the other is a Sony PS-X7 also direct drive
how do i got about replacing needles? doooooooooooo i need a new 'cart' lol yes i'm a newbie to this...
and how do i know???
what should i look for?? etc?

try play a record on them. if the tone arm skates right across the record OR it sounds really awful when playing,then you need some new needles. if it's not broken then don't mend it,so if it plays with no problems leave it alone.
but be warned,needles aren't cheap coz they have a diamond chip on the end
