What do you think is the best cartridge at the moment for Hardcore (Oldskool, Happy, Freeform, Breakbeat Hardcore -I spin those styles) , I don't know, I wanted Glow-in-the-Dark, but Ortofon doesn't make them any more, besides it has more of a nightclub look... I need help on this to match them with my new Technics 1200 MK2 PKs (Black 1200's), I like DJ Craze's but I want to get advice from starz like yourself! Really Really Really Love you!

If your talking straight cartridges, than anything with a good output will do you quality.
But if your also on about the needles than it would depend on your style of mixing. Say if you do alot of scratching and/or backspinning than a needle with an elliptical style polished diamond would be good. Once you start getting into the more expensive models they all are pretty up there.

Mr K will tell you to avoid concordes or that type of cart. As they were designed to be used the straight tone arms.
As for carts
Id recomend some from the ortofon OM range.

OM's? I gotta go cheap right now, because I just bought that TT, so maybe I'll just get the DJ Craze models, I have a pair of Whitelabels, but White (Obviously), so I'm looking for black ones (I know the Craze's are silver but I'm on a budget!)... I'll just go to the DJ Store!, Sorry for the Q, just wondering what Hardcore DJ's use...

Okay, the OM's are only $50 each, thanks Clarke, another DJ also recommended them, but he's a DnB DJ, But yeah, I hope he know's what he's talking about, I'm gonna buy the Pro-S series Black (a Pair), what do you think Clarke or Brian?

Ive got a pair of OM pro silver. (The next ones up from black) Mine have lasted at least a year, probably almost 2 years on the original needles. not bad for £50.
