What about those M44-7 Gs? I heard those were good too but I don't know the difference. Here's a link 2 a site about the Shure White Labels just in case you didn't know what I meant.

These needles are made for beat mixing and beat mixing only...you get extremely accented Hi's a fat mid, and a huge bottom end so you hear EVERYTHING! and when i say everything im being for real...also the styli are made with an eliptical high polished Diamond that reduces wear on your records and last a really really really long time... ive used my needles now for a full 3 years and have only broken one stylus... the tracking forces are good too...you might want to adjust your tonearm but thats not a bigdeal... what best about these is taht theyre not that expensice... you coudl spend a good 120$ out the box for one ortofon nightclub, but these are jsut as good if not better, and are only 199$ for a pair...

you pick and choose... goodluck on finding a good needle... Bigup

Omfg Stanton trackmasters are bull shit. The Worst orotfon knok off there is. They have All most no Groove holding. I f you try to back que the record they fly off 70 percent of the time. I tried a pair of all the track masters and sold some of them from guitar center. THey all came back within 2-3 days. Fuck those needles they are marked up 89 dollars any way the cost is only 26 dollars Smile

i think that as long as u have half decent syluses and u take care wen ur mixin u'll be alrite..

wen some people cue up really aggressively an the needle jumps they complain that the needles r shit..

u look at the decks an theve got sum really nice brand new ortofons on there...

im like "the needles arnt shit, ur djin is!"

personally ive got pro s - pretty damn tight wen it comes usin them - they almost stick to the record.

but like i said , dont rely 2 much on the needles quality - make sure u take care especially wen ur cuein up.

About the cleaning of ur needles
What about "contactspray"?
It's the stuff i use to clean the "inside" of my mixer
Maybe if u spray (its a spray) it on a 'niet pluizend vod'
it might work. Confused

I just got my hand on a pair of concorde elektro : they ROCK

I used to have a pair of OM pro and the elektro put them to shame

the 7.5 mV output is so loud compared to the 5 mV of the pros I've had to reduce the gains by 3 points Shocked
