1210 owners with ortofon/stanton carts
i have 1210's and have bought some stanton trackmasters (or groovemasters, forgot which one) II RM's... but after setting the correct ride height, counter weight and stuff, upon cueing up a record, the needle jumps like crazy. Even stanton 500SL's track better.
But I have tried them on vestax/numark TT's straight arm decks and they work fine. Not sure if these kinda needles are made for straight arms only, or i should be getting the scratch only version. Surely I shouldn't need to apply additional weight to the carts?
Picture this, when rocking the record back and forth, u can physically see the needle moving sideways very violently. Not sure if its the needles or decks, either way, prob put them up on ebay or sommat, worth almost 240quid as well...
