Stanton 500 cartridge good 4 bedroom, club and turntabalist

[spikeman14]

I have this one, I had the older style previously and it was much better, the lower plastic lipping keeps clipping the outer edge of the vinyls at the start and causes lots of hopping at the start of the vinyl! Warning for anyone with 70's/80's vinyl with raised edges on the vinyl, this needle will be a problem!

hi mate, a few days ago I bought a new SYNQ xtrm-1 turntable as well as a Stanton 500V3 Cartridge/needle. I installed and adjusted everything as described in the little manual, but when scratching (or playback in reverse) the needle skips. I tried everything, went through all the steps again and again, the only thing that helps a little bit is making the tonearm heavier (4 grams), however in the store I was told that the Stanton 500V3 needs a Tracking Force of something in between 3 & 3.5 grams?

I'm soon getting a Stanton T.62 and I need to know what weight would be suitable for the 500 v3 cartridge for CASUAL LISTENING, I'm not a DJ and have no intentions to DJ on this turntable. Thank you.

What about the Shure M-447 as a general needle?

Get PICKERING XV15-150DJ! Amazing bass tracking!(Stanton magnetic corporation)!

This is the nicest video quality we've ever seen from you. Your information on the needle is even better.

[donpelipe64]

Vinyl yea!!

get shure m447s if your serious about scratching and turntablism, 500s wont last long and tend to skip much more often

[jaytechnical]

i,ve got cheap audio technica needles and rotated them to the right just like the m-44/7's..

they won't skip like the stanton's and for a bargain you can scratch just as hard as shure's.

[DJHydroponic]

How far to the right and what turntable are you using?

[jaytechnical]

about 30 degrees,i use technics 1200m3d's..

stanton sucks for scratchin',the m-44/7's and ortofon's are way 2 expensive so i'll advise any turntablist 2 use the standard audio- technica's,used them for over a year now withouth any complaints.

[DJHydroponic]

Ah the old straight arm emulate technique, dependant on how much counterbalance weight your applying and tonearm height, i would personally recommend an headshell angle between 13 to 23 degrees.

[deejayfree]

not for scratching ;)

[DJHydroponic]

For a overall that can do it all this cartridge its a good one, brilliant cartridge to began learning with as well. If your looking for a cartridge just to scratch with, i would personally recommend the Shure M-447's. They have very low record wear, good sound output, low counterbalance weight (1.5 to 3 grams), been a turntablist favourite for over 10 years and very hard to knock them out of the groove while scratching once you worn them in.

Your vinyl looks a little dirty, haha!
