I've heard spherical are better for turntablism? So is it really
true the elliptical stay in the groove better - if so why the
difference in recommendation for styles - are the ellipticals fragile?
I think they wear the vinyl more if you scratch and there's potential
for burning if you have very dusty vinyl.
I was thinking about Nightclub E but all the various different ones
that look the same (Pro, DJ, Elektro, etc) let alone all the
limited stuff (Gold, Qbert etc.) confuses me. Their site's not
much help. Though some of the names (Broadcast, Skratch) I hope
make the intended use clear.
I have the Nightclub Es. No problems yet but I'm very careful when
tightening the headshell.
