Awaiting my MK5, got a question.

So my stressfull days with Numark 1910 are close to over.

I ordered yesterday on ebay, not including headshell or stylus, a Technics 1200 MK5 for 400$US. ( they sell them around 1000$US new here in montreal )

I am a n00b in terms of catridge and stylus. please advise. (although I mostly spinn electronic - I will be scratching)

Is ortfon that good, where should I buy it etc I need some expertise

I'd highly recommend these, especially since you're getting such nice tables.

Ortofons do have great sound, but if your gonna do alot of scratching and still want something that sounds good for electronic music, check out the Shure M44G. There great carts, they track almost as good as the m44-7 but have much better sound quality.
