stylus help please :)

[Skirtchaser]

Im wondering whats everyones fave stylus is strictly for transfering vinyl to digital....

has anyone bothered to have a stylus/cartridge for just recording ? or do you just use your scratch/mix stylus?


gracias ppl

I would suggest that there is no need if you keep your stylus in good nick. I mean if you record sets your gonna wear out the needle, so why have 2 sets when if 1 get worn you just replace them.

Having said that I have a spare set of om's with headshell, but this is only if disaster occurs and a needle breaks

yeah i get ya

but im talking about how people have specific styli for recording only ie diamond tipped styli etc

looking at all the specs of styli gives me a head ache so I thought some ppl might have some stories to tell

just use ur normal stylus and apply some mastering with your computer if u want to improve the quality

most def the best way. does not really matter what needles as long as they are of a high quality and in good nick

lol tell that to the audiophiles that spend thousands of dollars on neddles/cartridges


but I get your point Its just some wires going into rca's anyway.

hence they should be of high quality
