i was just wonderin what kind of needles you lot use and maybe why you like em.
i use Ortofon - Night Club. i never had a preference when i bought em. i just liked how smooth they were and i didnt know too much about needles then either. if i bought new ones, id get tough f**kers for scratchin with.

I like to scratch, so I've been using shure sc-35's. they are good for all applications.

hey Plasma...you got any more info on the Shure needles? ive seen ads for them claiming to be "THE BEST" and have always wondered about them. dont they cost a friggin arm and a leg?

Ha. You use ortofon's are think shure's cost an arm and a leg. Sorry. Actually, they are the absolute best deal in needles. The SC35C's are what I have too, they were $35 each. Top of the line shures you can find for under $60 each, and they are excellent. If you have ortofon's I'd stick with those until you need to switch, but no there's no reason to get them again at over $100 a pop. Go to 123dj.com and look around if you wanna compare prices.

ummm...really. i thought i remembered seeing an ad for em and they was crazy expesive. maybe i was lookin at the top o the line ones. yea, my ortofon's were very up there in price too. theyre very very nice dont get me wrong, but they dont scratch the best. theyre for more straight play.
thanks for the link though.

does anyone have any angles on your needles? you know where you attach the cartridge to the head shell.
ive got mine turned in a wee bit. dunno why really, i guess cause the guy i learned from had them like that. they seem to stick alright.
anybody have any tips on it???
(:(:happyhardcoresmiles:):) |
| Brian K |
a buddy of mine made custom headshells out of legos so he could personalize the angle of his needles =D
i angled mine a little bit towards the inside so make them stick a little better, i guess it depends on the needles themselves and the quality of them...

In most cases it's best to angle the cartridge inwards about 10 to 15 degrees to the groove of the record. This can help to prevent skipping esp. while back-cueing. Keep in mind that in the long-run this supposedly causes "record-burn".

It is all about the shure needles. Ortofons suck butt. The sound is no where as good as the shures, and ortofons love to eat your records, Especially if you dont have your tone arm calibrated right. Ortofons just have a lil more bass kick to them, but as far as i am concerned the BEST needles out there are the shure M44g for mixing or scratching and if you are mostly a scratch dj the shure m447 is what you want to get. Shure has the best sound reproduction and they will not eat your records for breakfast no matter how hard you backque or how much weight you run. one word for ya... SHURE
Just cause your smart doesn't mean you can't act stupid!!! |
