Maybe, but I still like the sound of Nightclubs better (rounder, more smooth sounding, I even prefer the sound of the blue DJ series), and they aren't as expensive here as the Whitelabels. Then again, you can't discuss sound preferences, as each person has his own taste, and there's no right or wrong there. Ok, Shure did a great thing by making a P-mount cartridge that's easy to install, and still leave the option to adjust overhang (and angle slightly). But I tried them, and frankly they are not worth the extra money over Nightclubs. If I should set a price, it would be equal to Nightclubs at most. But you must keep in mind that Whitelabels are still a new product, so I hope the prices will get down to decent values later.
But I'm sad to see it is again devolving to a matter of looks. Lately the dj business has been hit by the design stuff, and lots of people are falling for it. Sound quality is still my main concern, and if it looks bad, so be it. Nowadays when new gear is presented on shows, people go crazy and make statements like : "It's gonna be awesome, I'm buying several when it comes out!", just based on looks (just look at the Technics cd player threads all over the net). If it performs well and looks good at the same time, that's great. But looks alone don't tell anything about the actual quality of the stuff.
