| right now im using shure m35x carts for practice. I like them because theyre really low impact on my vinyl. Anyone know of any other really low wear carts, preferably integrated ones? |

| i have shure M44Gs, they're really easy on my records. as for integrated carts i'm thinking maybe shure whitelabels. i've never used them but from what i hear you can run really low tracking force on them. |

Actually, Ellipitical styli are harder on vinyl than spherical. Even though the book "How to DJ Right" says spherical are harder on vinyl that's totally the opposite and wrong.
Check out shure m44-g for mixing or m44-7 for scratching. Both are very easy on vinyl. As for whitelabels, they seem very simular to your m35x when it comes to cue-burn. |

makes no sense to me, explain what i'm doing wrong.
Spherical needle = small contact surface = all the pressure on a small surface = hard for the records
Elliptical needle = larger contact surface = pressure over a larger area (so less pressure) = better for the records
