For my own playing, I just stick with my trusty Shure M44Gs. I know it's not going to win any awards, but it is quite decent and versatile...and quite easy on the vinyl! Some of my records are quite rare and I'm not gonna chew them up with some fancy needle that requires ridiculously high tracking force :o

this needle is known obviously for it's non-skipping powers, but it apparently doesn't need to be calibrated every time. just pop these babies on and your ready.

I had M44g's about two years ago, then I got q-berts... wouldn't trade them q-berts for anything.

Been using Ortofon Elektros (the white ones) for a while, kinda fancy a change though. They're nice sounding carts although I'm recently noticing the highs breaking up a bit sometimes, even with fairly new tips.

Sorry to say I haven't used the DJ200i, but heard good reports on them.


I'm currently using Ortofon S-120 OM. Absolute sick nuts. They're spherical, stick like glue at 2.5g, give me perfect calibration in SSL and even make some of my older tunes sound fresh again.


Steered away from the M44s as I didn't like that all the setups I've used and seen seem to have the cart just hovering above the was. That it, if the needle failed the whole unit wouldn't even bounce...just draaaag across the vinyl *ewww*

Whitelabels were a go, but I kept hearing stories about needles falling away or spanning frequently so thought I'd give it a miss (that, and for the cost of two I got three of the S-120s).
