I am looking for a cartridge to achive my record collection in the process of converting.

I have put hunderds of hours into looking for rare tracks ect. and just playing them over and over again in my bedroom and wearing them out seems pointless when I
could have a back up cd copy to dj with a pair of cdjs or final scratch2.
Some of these tracks are worth well over 30$.

I cant afford to buy audiophile belts ect so I am just going to use my tech's
(although I did change the leads on them)
I was thinking of bying the discontinioued shure v-15 to get the gob done because its considered good in terms of performance and value
( but dropping 350$ on something that is off the market...)
I can spent 200-250 (maybe a bit more)
Recomendations welcome

ortofon nighclub eliptical or ortofon gold eliptical

Ortofon Nightclub Elliptical.

Guys it really sounds like he wants something audiophile!

So Ortofon might just not cut it...


Just on top of my head the Grado carts come to mind:
http://www.gradolabs.com/frameset_cart.htm

The Prestige Gold is 180$
The Prestige Silver is 150$


Keep in mind these are destined for audiophile market NOT djing .... backcueing with these is a big no no

Thanks for the replys I dont dj with expensive carts
What I was looking for was a cartridge to use spesificly for recording.
The thing is I am just going to be using the preamp from final scratch
(Not ideal but thats all I have)
as an interface for the actual recording and a desent program
bias peak le to record at 24 bit 96 k and sound soap le as a plug in to clean stuff up.
I might look into getting one of those
