I'm not a needle guru by any means, but here's how I see it. I have the Stanton Diskmaster 2's. First set of needles I ever bought to put on my first set of turntables I ever bought. They get the job done, Sound quality is very good and tracking is very good for everyday mixing. Now, if you want to get the Ortofons just to say that you have the best, then you should definatly shell out the extra cash. I plan on upgrading to Ortofons when my Diskmasters need replacing. But for the time being, I got my needles for 80 bucks for the pair at GuitarCenter. Put money into equipment where it matters the most, TT's, Mixer, headphones. Then spend every friggin dime you got on records. hehe.

Did you go to the actual GuitarCenter store.....I didn't see an online catalog on their site....

Posted by bkim00 on Jul-31-2002 06:22:

Guitar centers online store is Musiciansfriend.com. However, the prices on their online site are pretty high. If you want to get anything from guitar center, you should find an online store with a good price and go into the store and price match for the equipment you want (ie. needles).

Why are you choosing the technics headphones? I haven't heard that many good things about them. I'd recommend the Sony 7506 which you can get at GuitarCenter for 90 bucks if you haggle with them a bit.

What bad things have you heard about the Technics?

What makes the Sony one better......also.......can you hear the sound clearly in a noisy club....

as for headphones... The 7506's are supposed to be one of the best out there.. or Sanheiser 280 Pro's.

I use sony MDR-V700DJs and I really like them... but it seems that alot of people dont... probably because of the super-inflated bass they provide

will give the Sony headphones a try......

The Technics 1210's (silver) block out a lot more compared to the 7506 or the 700's. I compared these with my friends and also found that the 1200 (black) have a lot more plastic than the 1210's (silver) and have a stronger build. You can also tell the difference in the sound they block out with the 1210's block more out. So get this pair.. also $130 is a very expensive price. On eBay they sellf ro $90-$100 new and even at retail stores for $100-110.

The 7506 do have very very good quality. Its just that if you dont really care in the sound quality department and want good looks the 1210's are pefect. Though if you wanna also use ur phones for listening to music (not DJ'ing), the 7506 would be more preferable. If you decide to get the 7506 and cant find prices under $100, you can purchase the Sony MDR-V6 which is exactly the same as the 7506 though it may just be old stock.

So its your decision.

My 1200s should be arriving within 4 days (WOOOHHHHOOOOOO!!! ) and I'm looking for a pair of headphones with good sound quality and good isolation....

As for the Technics, there are no 1210s they are 1200A, but I wanna know what makes them so great?

http://www.pssl.com/bitemdetail.tpl...002080308163155

I heard Sennheiser's have excellent isolation but I heard alot of people not recommending their use for DJing.....can someone tell me why?

As for the 7506 they dont look like a very comfortable pair, I could be wrong, I've never used them so I can't say. But is the sound quality all they posess? Does anyone know where you can find MDR-V6? I went to the Sony site and was unable to find them at all, can someone tell me where I can find more info and see what they look like?

Posted by Dj Fred Lamar on Aug-03-2002 17:39:

Those were the 2 I've been told to get

I've gotten more responses for the 7506 and then the Sem. then the Techs.

I soon as I get me a mixer gonna buy the 7506s......hope they are good for DJing as everybody says they are......

Posted by Abbas on Aug-05-2002 22:56:

well, whoever used them would know them best thats for sure.....
I still can't decide myself
