yes, for what they are in price, they are definitely worth it
they track very well and the sound quality isn't

if you're not up for putting up large amounts of cash for the ortofons, then get these carts, definitely worth it :)

Well, I just went ape yesterday and bought my first TT. I got a Numark TTX1 with a shure whitelabel on the way with it. I talked to several pro djs about it that have used the table and the cart, and they were very very impressed with all of it! I'll have nothing to compare it to, but I'll tell you what I think after I get it and have a chance to play around with it!

congrats on your purchase! hope yours bring you as much pleasure as mine brought me!
if you can, play with some ortofons (since they are the defacto standard for mixing djs) and let us know how the whitelabels measure up to that. i'm very curious how shure did with an integrated cartridge (because stanton ed up hard, imo).

I'd like to get the ortofone cartridges that plug into the Technics headshells because I heard the other ones will eventually damage your tone arms. But deffinetly have to agree about the sound quality ;-)

My first pair of carts were Shure M44-7. These have great tracking. I decided to upgrade last week. After hearing lots of good things about the Whitelabels, I decided to go with them. Well, I got them today throught the mail and I have to say I'm pretty dissapointed. The tracking really sucks. They're too light- I have to set the tracking force to 4+ grams to cue right or else I'll miss my cue every time and I'm nervous about doing that because I don't want to damage my records. I really wish I had gone with Ortofone (of course I've never owned a pair so I really can't say if they're any better).

I love them, whiteL have a great sound quality, in my opinion they are the best !

In a review I read, it said they had amazing sound quality, and that you could even do some (mild) scratching on them. They did say they had a tendancy to jump when they went hardcore scratches, but I doubt most here really do that anyway. I think I'll stick with m44-7's :) BTW, anyone who has m44-7's, what kinda price can I expect ? Lowest I've found so far is like 60$.
