Default Need a good cartridge
I am in search of a good cartridge. What is going to have good sound quality and durability? I do alot of listening, but am now moving into the world of scratching. What are you people using? What are you not using?

I think diamond tip is what you use for scratching.

Like the technic 1200s, the Shure M44-7 (the white cartridges) will always do you right. They are open circuitry, so you have to be aware of bass feedback. That and Ortofon Q-berts if you got the chedda.
