Netwin « There is no glue, and yet ... »
Published on 12/18/10 at 16:15For how long have you been using it?
6 months
What do you use it for?
Scratch (intensive), beat-juggling, a little mix
What thing do you like most/least about it?
The downside is when you first use it. I had purchased them from Thomann (39 € each!) And hop I get them delivered soon after and then ... disappointment, it does not hold anything. I then tested a lot of settings but I'm still come back to the beginning: height 4, weight 3.5, anti-skating 0 and right cell. The thing is I had to wait a bit and after a few uses it became stuck in the vinyl, even with intensive sessions! (Please note that the guide orients to 23 degrees, it is still more but I'm not a fan, my disc took a little longer I think).
Otherwise the sound is excellent, very round! I prefer it.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Ortofon DJ S: The sound was good, clearer than the shures, it was also good but they destroy my discs in my view (in scratch of course)
What is your opinion about the value for the price? Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
For the price (Thomann) is really amazing! So little for so much quality, what more?
I'd love to try the Ortofon Concorde Q-bert, just to see, but the ortofon eats vinyl, I would choose Shure 44-7 again and again!
