Neuro Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I've been trying to hunt down a nice cart/stylus to replace my Stanton 680 EL II cart, which has served me well and given me some great rips. I'm simply after exceptional sound quality for ripping vinyl - not for mixing (and definitely not for scratching. Obviously.) Any recommendations? What about the Ortofons?

Briggsy Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I bought a brand new Ortofon Nightclub S cart and stylus just for rips, and its the muts nuts. They're not cheap at £75, but you pay for what you get :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Good choice Briggsy, thats exactly what I did about 2 months ago, sounds great. The only limiting factor now is the state of some of the vinyls themselves which obviously degrade over the years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 if u get a second hand one i would urge you to buy a new stylus...u might as well just buy the whole cart while your at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Thanks matey yeah I thought that, I'm going to invest in a spanking new one. Just wondered as a long shot if anybody had one lying around which they have hardly used... Ortofons look sexy as well, and you can actually see what you're doing! It will me nice treat for me when I get back to the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you there Tim. They were a great upgrade for me when I started earning a few pennies and moved up to better equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
