New Carts

[ChevChelios]

Alright, so Ill be purchasing some new carts after christmas ans Im looking for some advice.

Im looking at either shure m447/m44g or stanton 680s. Also open for other suggestions.

Im sure there is someone on here thats used both, so let me know what you think of either.

Also, Im not looking at doing too much scratching for the moment as I dont have a scratch mixer.

i personally haven't shopped for carts in a while. have you thought about going concord style?

[ChevChelios]

nah man, a bit too pricey for me. Wanting to spend about 200-250.

your using tsp right, or will be then yeah you dont necessarily need to spend bigg.

ive got 680.v3's and they work perfect for me and apparentally are well rounded carts.

never looked at anything else. i know your mm47s are the hip hoppers choice. not sure why, maybe stable tracking

Yeah I looked at those, not sure how they'd go on normal records though, cause I will still be playing normal vinyl as much as timecode.

chev check this article. talks about in terms of timecode, but also about the actual thruput of the needles (what is needed for normal vinyl).

i woke up and this article came to mind.

nice one mayne, shall check it oot.

Alright, decision has been made. Between reading that and an article on skratchwox I've decided to go with M44Gs. Not going with with 447s cause apparently they get a bit harsh on a big system, and have a slightly higher tendancy to wear records than the 44Gs.

Oh and they're cheap as shit

Thanks for yalls help
