    Yo,


    recently ive been sampling quite a lot using a Technics 1210 mk2 ,I have a Shure M44-7 cartridge with a traditional technics headshell.

    I bought the turntable off a good friend,who liked to scratch records a lot as he was mostly a hip hop and funk dj.Thats why he used that Shure cartridge,because it simply doesnt skip or slip up.

    But my situation is that i feel i may need a new cartridge soon enough ,as ive been listeing to records non stop and the stylus/cartridge may need to be replaced.

    So,i kinda want to get a stylus thats good for high quality sound fidelity,not one for a mix master mike!
    I want something thats rugged for forwarding and rewinding,but has optimal sound fidelity for me (a sampling maniac) and not so much for scratching.....

    Any suggestions as regards brands??

    Ortofon maybe?:confused:
