heh, not loads.. just a couple of people i know have them and they like them.

they obviously have bad taste

I haven't had a chance to hook up the new Whitelabels yet because I was busy but I am doing it today. I just have a question though. Teh guy told me that the secret to Whitelabels is hook everything up and leave them over a record overnight. This way the springs get6 broken in. Do you suggest doing that? Does it hurt the needle?

Intro
Every DJ touches the record in a slightly different way. With the Shure DJ Cartridge family, you are sure to find the needle to fit your spinning needs. However, optimum cartridge performance may require some experimentation to adapt to your personal touch. Here's a quick guide through the ins and outs of optimal cartridge care.

Chapter 1:
Accelerating Break-In (M44-7)

Normal break-in time takes about two weeks. The bearing, a critical part of the stylus suspension system, is stiff from the factory. Skip resistance improves with use.
You can speed up the break in period by leaving the cartridge in the record groove, with the turntable turned off, for two hours each night letting nature (gravity) do its thing.

The Whitelabels work great now. They skip a little when the needle moves to the center of the record but in time that should go away. As for the Kaoss Pad 2, I took that back today. It wasn't what I expected. I'm looking into something for remixing. The guy there told me about Ableton Live but I want to research before I drop $300 on anything else. How is this software? Anyone use it?
