Stylus/Cartridge

ThirdMan

I need to buy a new stylus/cartridge set.

Have no idea what I'm looking for. For use with Technics 1200's.

What's the difference between spherical and elliptical?

I haven't much to play around with. €150 max.

Any recommendations?

Cheers.

What do you play?

PS spherical V elliptical is tracking versus sound quality.

PS spherical V elliptical is tracking versus sound quality.

Playing dub, funk, disco, etc, but electronic as well, breaks, techno.. bit of everything really.

Scratching isn't really something I'll be attempting, so I don't want it to dictate what I buy, although if there was some sort of 'hybrid' that suited both styles I'd consider it.

I came across these today as well. They seem to be well reviewed, and Thomann is 25% cheaper then anywhere else. I'd get a set for €150.

Edit: Those Ortofon's look pretty decent as well! Cheers.

I have the Whitelabels. Excellent Stylus/Cartridge and they're pitched as a high level "catch all" Cart.
