I can't decide. Do I buy
2x Shure Whitelabel
or
2x Shure M44-7H
Also, will a Technics headshell fit on a Numark tonearm? If not, would you buy the Whitelabels? Why or why not. If it would fit, then, which one, Whitelabel or M44-7. |

I just went shopping for shures and i ended up taking home the M447s. Both the whitelables and the m44-7 have incredible output (great highs and lows) but i picked the m44-7 simply because of the cost. Each m44-7 is about $50 and replacement stylii are about $20-$30 . . depending how good of a shopper you are. These things give ortofon a run for the money and anyone who disagrees, i think are brainwashed and are pissed that they dropped double the money. |

WHITE LABELS, WHITE LABELS, WHITE LABELS!!! NO COMPARISSON TO 44-7 AND THEY COMPLETELY BLEW ORTOFONES CONCORDES PRO DJ S OUT OF MY T-TABLES AND INTO MY RECORD BAG for extreme emergency only, and I do mean extreme, 'cause white labels are so damn good, there is no need for back up and replacement styli is only 28.00 each or 24.00 when you buy a pack of 4.
M44-7 is designed more for scratching/turntabalist DJs and they are cartridge style and yes put them on technics headshells and they'll fit your Numark T-table(I'm assuming you have a newer Numark t-table) if you decide to go with these and you don't have headshells yet, then don't waste your money on technics headshells @$35.00-40.00 a piece, get the new stanton headshells for only 10.99 each and other than diff. brand namne, they are absolutely identical.
White Labels are intergraded cartridge design with polar balanced body so you can actually back off counter weight at least half way, thus virtually no record wear and no styli wear what so ever, they are designed more for trance/progressive/techno/house DJs that demand great bass lines, rich mids and highs, and yet grip record enough for scratching when needed. When I got mine, I couldn't believe how much richer the sound is than my Ortofones Pro DJ S were.
There is no doubt in my mind that the extra few bucks spent on White Labels are well worth it and I am waiting for additional shipments to get another pair for my travel gear, yes white labels do sell out very quickly, I've already been waiting for almost two weeks.
costs: White labels --109.00 each = 218.00
M44-7 - 64.99 each plus technics headshell 35.00 each = 150.00+70.00 oh wait that equals 220.00 , ha I just made myself more happy that's actually more than white labels, which also comme in a nice hard carrying case... lol!!! |
