One durable person. One social graph. Many communities—and every way people speak, share, listen, write, gather and remember.
Recently set my Technics 1210s up again after a long gap and realised that I have never changed the original stylus/cartridge since I bought them (about 12 years ago)
Had a browse around and the choice seems very varied. What can you experts recommend for me? I'm not going to be playing out, just want a reliable needle that will last and gives me decent quality. Its my birthday soon so i think the missus will be footing the bill :)
Not looking to spend over £100 on the pair really?

I've always been a fan of the Ortofon Pro S Concorde. Easy to fit, sound great and should be within budget if you search around.

EDIT: If you already have Concordes then just replacing the needles is well within budget.

Re: Suggestions for DJ equipment-specifically needles
go for elliptical stylous....Ortofon is classy choice. I used to have Pro S but replace them with the DJ S series....both excellent choices.
