Which needles do you guys use - Stantons or Shures?

[Uppertanker]

Ortofon is trying to make a run in the category, but Shure is consistent, strong, and resonant. I will keep purchasing them. What about your thoughts?

I'd go with Stanton 500's. Light so they damage little to nothing.
Shure is too heavy, and their advertising about 'no eating' is false.

Terumo always good.

Stanton Groovemaster rules. Fuck Ortofon, broke easily.... No comments about those shell attached cartridges like Schure sc35 or stanton 500, its cheap shit.....

They're good for turntablism,
those skinny cartridges don't have the tracking power of a shell cartridge under heavy backspinning.

eZ!

Never in my whole life I would scratch again with a damn shell carttridge....sorry but I like the Finger look Track/groovemaster have. Easier to work with this stuff......
