Re: (313) Ritchie and Magda last night in D.C.
Nope, sadly there is no techno scene in DC but nice to see there are a few other DC folks on the list. Not much of any EDM scene here anymore. For years I have made trips up to NYC and Detroit to get my fill of techno. There used to be a larger group of techno fans (and good dj's) who played locally but last year there was a mass exodus and they all moved out of town (including 313's own Tristan Watkins..) so now we don't even have that.

RE: (313) ortofon cart question
I experience the "lick the contacts" ONLY with stanton trackmaster IIs and similar. The contacts on them are rounded and seem to lose contact after only 3 months or so. I think that if you're having problems like that, it may be self-propogating, or because you've had to do it - you have to continue doing it. I've personally never had to do that with ortofons, and i've been using them for quite some time. dense.

(313) TP in Liverpool
Was anybody out there lucky enough to catch Terrence Parker at T:Funkshun in Liverpool, UK on Friday ? Unfortunately, I couldn't make it myself. Saw him play at the Feeling Moody 2 after-party during the Movement Fest; a living legend. It's a pity he doesn't come over to these shores more often. TP, if you're reading this, England needs you - please visit us more often !!! Chris.
Re: (313) Ritchie and Magda last night in D.C.
I had no idea there were other people from DC/MD on this list! I'll echo the praise, and add that I hope the crowd response from Friday will convince the Buzzlife folks to book more techno in the future.

Re: (313) ortofon cart question
I've been using my ortofons for over 5 years now, and before that, i was using stanton headshells/styli. I would reccomend avoiding the stantons, as I have to use them sometimes in various clubs or things, and they always seem to have the same issue with one channel or the other not contacting correctly inside the tonearm (resulting in the need to take the headshell off and lick the thing for a better connection). I have never had this issue with my ortofons, and my ortofons last probably 4x longer (per headshell and per stylus). As for the original question, I've always bought the Pro S, which at one time was the same cost as the DJ S or nightclub S. I beleive that the "S" designation has to do with teh shape of the stylus (meaning spherical) as oopposed to elliptical. The different shape of the styli affect backcueing and playing differently. Spherical styli are "more suited for backcuing or scratching" (in ortofons opinion), and the elliptical styli give a better response for straight playing (think traditional house mixing). The "concord" designation deals with the shape of the headshell itself, and is the sleek, long headshell with the little annoying lightweight arm that breaks off really easily. If i could find a cheap set of OM style headshells, I'd rather use those, simply because they don't have that little arm that always breaks off. All stylii and headshells from ortofon appear to be interchangable, but depending on the model, they only have the attributes of the original set. In other words, if you get a stylus with better frequency response, but the headshell can't recognize that frequency response, you are reduced to the lowest common denominator. For me, I've had the best luck (or best price/part) with the Concord Pro (and Pro S). I use the Pro body, and buy Pro S styli. I've been using them for about the last 5 years, and have only had issues with the little arm breaking. All of the other name headshells and styli that i've used have not sounded as "fresh" and vibrant, and have always had little mechanical deficiancies (like the problem i explained with the stanton headshells). I've found that, at least in this market, you really do get what you pay for, and i get much more mileage and better sound out of paying a little bit more on the front end. Dense.

(313) RIP Robert Quine
It should be noted that legendary guitarist Robert Quine (most notably a Voidoid, later played for Lou Reed) passed away last week, apparently via suicide. Didn't want to see it go unmentioned in the wake of other, perhaps more identifiable, persons having passed recently. Brilliant, manic guitar. jeff np- "Love Comes in Spurts"
