Cartridges
View this Thread in Original format

I recently bought new turntables (techs :D ) and they didn't come with carts so I used my old ones. Now I am selling my old setup so I need some new cartridges.

Right now I am deciding between the Shure M44G's and the Ortofon Concorde Pro's.

If there are any other to consider please say so.

I would like to keep the cost lower than 130$ for 2 of them.

The m44's. The orts are over rated :p.

The shures will give you nice defined sound throughout all frequencies where the orts will leave out some bass. The shures will also never skip :)

One problem here, I don't have any headshells. Do they come with any?

Yeah ask for the ones with the headshells, I think they're either like $5 more or the same price.
