Review on Ortofon Nightclub E Replacement Stylus by Coby Hall

I've been using Concorde DJ needles for many years but I've recently dusted off my vinyl collection to record in AIFF and use it in my digital DJ world and after a lot of research I've made my decision going with those elliptical needles to get a better sound because some of my LPs were a bit worn and sounded a little quirky (tinny, and the high-frequency clipping like a transistor radio is too loud). I imagined that the elliptical stylus would fit the groove better and push out any confined groove burrs left on those worn records, i.e. the elliptical stylus would enter the part of the groove that the spherical styluses could not wear down. Ellipticals tend to wear out the vinyl if you do a lot of reverse tagging or scratching, but since my main goal was just to play vinyl, I think it's worth it. For rough DJing, I simply use my old DJ-S needles. I didn't have to buy cassettes as you can run Night Club E on a DJ-S cassette - I carefully researched this online first and there was a forum post somewhere where a real Ortofon engineer answered a question by saying, that they are interchangeable No problem. (Well, because I couldn't afford new cartridges!). Basically I am very satisfied with the sound. Also, I've spent a lot of time reading up on the correct tonearm weighting and balancing procedure and this is also of great value and worth the time spent and you should do it on every turntable you play. Because so many DJs screw up weights or mess around with anti-skate thinking, it helps, but it makes everything sound and work worse.
