No I wouldn't go for those, I would go for Stanton 680HP's for mid grade, and if you want the best, Whitelabels will be the ones to go with, or Ortofon DJ/Nightclub. You can get 2 sets for well under $300 with Whitelabels or ortofons, if you do a little research and price matching.

stay away from any stanton cart that ends in "master". i have a set of trackmasters...... they suck. i got some groovemaster rm tips for them..... they sucked abit less. then i got some shure m44gs..... and i like them, alot. they almost never jump and sound pretty decent. you pretty much cant go wrong with any of the ortofon carts, and alot of people are gushing over shure whitelables.

btw....... if you have stanton "_____masters" and like them, thats cool, i'm just saying that they werent really doing it for me, and considering how much they cost...... damn

If you really want to buy expensive needles, go for the shure whitelabels... can't go wrong with them i guess

wish i had the cash :x
