View this Thread in Original format

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 :) :) :)

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:

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 :toothless

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 :) :) :)
