the stylus and the needle are pretty much the same thing. it goes stylus-cartidge-headshell (sometimes)-tonearm.

ortofon nightclubs (or any ortofons from what i hear) are definitely right up there, if you can scoop up one of those for 50 euros i would say go for it. i have, and love, shure M44Gs, they arent very expensive and you dont need to put hardly any weight on them to keep them from jumping.




waits for all the ortofon people to have a field day.
