Guest Vekked Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 yea, get shures, ortofons are disgusting for record burn, I can't stand them... they fuzz parts of beats up so much from juggling that I can't even practice with them because they sound so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 just two more questions: 1. these are quite loud needles aren't they? and 2. how easy are they to fit on to the tonearm? just thinkin about takin em to clubs etc. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 If you go down the community health clinic drop in, you can get new ones for free. You can probabbly get that rash looked at too, heard you been scratching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 like all needles theyre a little fiddle to attach to the headsheel when you first get them, but then they you just twist off the headshell from the tone arm when u want to take them somewhere like regualr needles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 i ues whitelabels. they are shit hot soundwise<{POST_SNAPBACK}> And shiny sparkly spangly emo RAZR spinner-rims on the bling scale. On 12's, looks-wise they're hotter than dangling your cock in a toaster. I know that shouldn't count for anything, but it all adds to the frankly hollow pleasure of dropping a whole days wages on a tiny fragment of synthetic diamond super-glued to a tube of metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rygon Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 what r the 44g's like..i heard they are supposedly great for sound but are still pretty skip resistant (although not as good as the 447s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
