ok, I'll most likely/hopefully be getting another turntable after summer, but I'll also need a cart.. I've got a concorde scratch for the turntable I already have, but I figure I don't need scratch for both.. I know ortofon is quality, though, and I want their products, and I'd like one that can take some shit, but it doesn't necessarily have to be scratch.. it could be one with better normal sound quality for instance... so I want experiences.. the concorde pro s? concorde gold? electro? I don't want to be confined to one type of music, so I guess the electro is kind of out of the picture, but can anyone recommend anything or share their experiences? |

oh, wait, I just figured out.. concorde pro is better that concorde pro s.. money is not that important, but I don't have an infinite well of it either, but I can pay the extra cash required to get a normal instead of the s of this one for instance, and I guess I set the roof at what the concorde scratch costs... |

cocorde pro and concorde pro s are the same but for straight and s-shaped tone arms. try to get a kit with two needles (u can change that between all concorde carts) so u'll be able to match both (or use one as replacemenrt). turn the table. turn it! |

needles = stylus (I myself use a pair of ortofon dj carts) |

yeah, I'm buying a kit... but if the s are for s shaped arms I'll probably need that as I'm getting another 1210... anyway I found some site that said the pros kill records.. what about the nightclub or dj models? or should I just go with another scratch? |

well, as far as I know, most comercial djs use nightclubs (at least round here). more xtended freq response but less stable. more for beatmatch, less for scratch. congs on new 1210. also: I think there's no point in having one scratch cart and other less scratchy. when doing a set I never know in wich side will end the disc for scratch and in wich the base. anyway I'm a MESS, so maybe u can sort it that way. and for killing records, all I have to say is: Avoid straight arms at all costs! more stability allways means more stress for the vinyl... my dj carts work well for me (also on a 1210) but the higer freqs are out, it only goes up to 18000. sure there are some other t-tablists arround to help... again: congs on new 1210! |

yeah, thanks! I'll look into it some more.. maybe another scratch will indeed be the way to go.. the scratch styli cost a bundle, though, but I probably won't need to change them for a while.. still got one spare for the one I already have... |

Yeah! I always go for symetrical setups, just in case my brain hemispheres get a shortcut or something... |

I use a Concorde Pro, it works fine. Never killed a record for the moment. I also think that you can't alway foresee which turntable you'll use for scratchin' so you'd better get 2 Ortofon Scratch. It's a pity that EuphonicFilter left the community because he would have tried to convince you that Ortofon sucks! |

there are more than enough people who think shures are awesome, and maybe some of their higher end models are, but their moderatly/cheap priced ones are crap! |

sound quality wise that is |

ortofons are dope. shure's hifi carts may be great and stuff, but from what i know the performance have lesser freq response than the 'fons. i'd get a matched pair if I were you, both because of the "you never know which deck you'll be scratching on" thing and it'll make you look like pippi with mismatched socks |
