What needles do you use?

Personally whenever I DJ at a club I use my own Carts and needles cause I know the frequency levels and I don't have to use dirty needles at a club...I have the track masters (the roger sanchez ones) and I love'em.....Do you guys do the same thing? If you go to a club that has everything do you use your own needled and what kind do you use?

i have orts nightclub s...well they have awsome frequencies but mine are shitty otherwise ...orts i found recently have a connection flaw with some tables...so sometimes only one channel works or sometimes the sound gets distored ..... i dunno someone said that the metal connectors of the ortfone carts then the metal on some tables...... ill never buy ortofons again ....for there price geez fuckin a waste of money!.... 130$ a piece!..... there not that much better to make it such a difference then other needles ...so im going to buy me some needles that are mayb much cheeper and see how they are.... Stantons or something...
