Using audiophile cartridges on Technic Turntable

I'm here in the states in NYC. A lot of audiophile stores here and ebay sell high end cartridges at a huge discount. For example, I found a couple Grado Prestige Silver/Golds, Denon, and a Sumiko Blue Point (sumikos have an amazing reputation)
I am wondering how well these cartridges would sound with electronic music and bedroom dj setups. I don't scratch. Principally, I want to use the setup to record vinyl to wave or aiff files.
Anyone here have some experience and advice to share? |

| People go on and on about getting good cardts and styli, but 9 out of 10 of them couldn't hear the differnce betweent the two. If grip isn't a big issue, then even stanton needles will do. Ortofon make nice carts as well but they all work. If you're not scratching, it doesn't really matter. |

Wrong forum.. but
Maybe for sound quality you can't tell by ear, but there is a difference. Cheap carts can wear on your records more, they might not last as long and they definitely don't look as cool :D.
