Hi, I am looking into replacing my Stanton 500 AL styli on my Technics 1200 turntables. In the past years as a bedroom DJ, I've enjoyed doubling up records, aggressive mixing and scratching, so, after having tried Shure M44-7s on a friend's turntables, I now find that Stantons don't fit my mixing needs any more.
However, I am in doubt as to whether to go for M44-7s, or perhaps go for some Ortofons. Basically, my two main criteria are maximum stability and minimal record wear, and price isn't really that much of an issue. Not that I'm on par with these guys, but what do folks like Claude Young, Mills, and Dave Clarke swear by ? I figure that, as far as techno jocks go, they're sort of the ones that give 1200s a serious run for their money. Would any of you 313 people consider things like Ortofon Qberts for techno DJs ? Any recommendations or experiences are welcome! Thanks in advance, Filip
