shamrock Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 wait, serato would recommend them OVER their own brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 wait, serato would recommend them OVER their own brand?they're not serato's own brand. They are an Ortofon model designed for using with tracking vinyl.Also, I haven't used that particular model but ortofons are my preffered choice of cart.

wazza Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I use 447 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Anything with good tracking will do. Sound quality isn't real important unless you want to use real vinyl as well. The m447's are a popular choice (as already mentioned) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 http://djworx.com/ortofon-serato-s-120- ... 8cuRvmSwnU http://www.djtechtools.com/2010/05/19/c ... omparison/check the last link - control needle shoot-out. good information, good standard of comparison. s120 cost is higher, slightly better (apparently), but the m44-7 is a close 2nd.

eggssell Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 but the m447 i assume is superior on regular vinyl (sorry havent checked your links though).i remember reading all about various needles and tracking and shyte but honestly unless your name is qbert you probably cant go wrong with any of the good ones.i still use the ones that came stock with st150's. still go good. never replaced the needle yet either.

eggssell Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 50th bday of the M44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 got a pair of these now (btw) - must say they are significantly loudner than then m44 on the control vinyl. sounds quality is comparable i think, but i'm only using a pathetic speaker system. next going to purchase the performance vinyl and check the quality....

eggssell Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 louder on the control vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 yes, so what i mean is. that 'humm' you get when you play the play the control vinyl without any output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
