Im debating which cartridge to get, the Stanton Groovemaster II - RM or Stanton Trackmaster II - RS. I must make a note that they will not be matched pairs. I would greatly appreciate the advice or your own experience with any of these 2 cartridges. Thanks! :) |

Simply put, after buying Trackmasters years back I will never buy a Stanton product again. |

i have a set of Trackmaster II SKs, and a set of Groovemaster II RM tips that fit on them. The Groovematers sound better and I think hold a groove a bit better but they both jump alot. I replaced them with Shure M44Gs and havent looked back. The Stanton's are also really expensive for what you get. my advice would be to stay away from them. |

Well if you have that kind of cash lying around, I can recommend Shure Whitelabels, since I own them. The Ortofons have good sound quality as well, but they eat vinyl a lot quicker, so overall Whitelabels in my opinion dominate the DJ cart list. Also more and more clubs are using them and that is earning their reputation as excellent carts. |

i agree with what you say, but i think the way you put it makes the ortofons sound a bit anti-vinyl :p its just that the whitelabels are so kind to your records..
the ortofon concorde carts are also really kind to your records compared with a lot of other carts, and they have mega sound quality.
whitelabels all the way for me though ;) |

Go with the whitelabels. They are super secksy and sound nice too (duh!). I found them for $95 at 123dj.com and then went to Guitar Center and got them pricematched, so a pretty good deal with reliable service can be had if you look around. |
