Sujet: Turntable Cartridge/Stylus advice please...

Ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes.

Hi all,

So I'm getting into my underground music a bit more and I've found a tune that's only available on vinyl, so I've bought a record deck so I can convert it to a .wav file.

I've found a decent looking phono preamp and I've got a nice Echo AudioFire sound card, but I haven't got a clue about cartridges/stylus for decks.

I'm mainly looking at best quality for getting a good rip of the tune, but I might think about trying to teach myself to scratch at some point so it being suitable for that would be a bonus, but not essential.

What's the minimum I should spend to get a decent rip, any particular makes and models you use?

Thanks in advance!

Andy.

I 3rd that...........but lets not forget about the Ortofons :-)
 
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll let you know how I get on. :-)
 
Greetings, I'm new here on the forums, but I've been djn for 10 years. I've always used Shure M44-7's as a turntablist. There are many reasons but here are a few
1. Low Cue Burn
2. LOUD output
3. Price is very reasonable, even for the replacement styli
4. Tracking is the best out there, the stylis sticks like glue when you have it set up right.

Don't let the Ortofon's price fool you, they're not the best out there. Consider that most Turntablist/scratch DJ's have used Shures for years. There's a reason why we like em. They just work and they work very well.
