I'm a beat mixer mate, Don't scratch at all. Scratching good but It doesn't interest me at all mate.

If you scratch, then I hear them Shure M44 are top class.
 
yeah i wanna scratch a lil bit, not not a whole lot, i got the numark cc1, have u heard anythng bout them?
 
If you want good needles.... buy are the Sure M44-7 or the ortofon Om scratch. Im using the Ortofon OM scratch needles. They hold down real good
 
thanks for the suggestion man,

what bout the ortofon digitrack? r they worth the price?
 
They are good but very expensive. They have a 8mv out put. You can get the Om scratch which are alot cheaper and they have a 7mv output which is a slight difference. If you want high output, get the M44-7. They have 10mv ouputs. Im am happy with my Om scratch needles and they work great. You dont really need the Digitrack needles. Many people have the black and silver ortofons and those have a 5mv otput which is lower and work ok The difference is the output in MV
 
oh k,

so the more the mV, the more responsive it is to the tcv set up?
 
The higher the output, the greater the time code signal.
 
oh k, thanks a lot man, appreciate your help...
 
Many djs are using either the Sure M44-7s or the Ortofon Om Scratch
 
yeah, i wasnt sure about their brand since i havent heard bout them before, but i guess u haveta be in the industry to know bout them...
 

Just been speaking to a scratch guy tonight,

He's say's Shure M44 any day
 
I have a pair of Stanton V505's up for grabs. With Stanton headshells. PM me.
