Review on ๐ŸŽง Enhanced Ortofon OM Q.Bert - Ultimate DJ Cartridge for Unsurpassed Performance by Christopher Clearfield

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent DJ stylus for accessories

This is a great DJ stylus for the price. I replaced two Shure M447s because I love how you can see the Ortofon needles when you look down at them while placing the needles. In addition, Shure M447s collect a lot of dust and dirt when in use; more than other brands of needles. I'm an amateur DJ and they're great for mixing and scratching. I've used standard vinyl and Serato DVS and it works great on both. With analog vinyl the sound is loud and I don't need to boost the gain that much on each channel and with DVS the range is nice and round once I set it up. You can leave them at the standard 3.0g downforce and they're great for scraping and hitting back. I am very happy with these needles and think they will be my favorites for a while. I hope Ortofon continues to make replacement needles for them, but if not I'll see if JICO makes a replacement for them after I'm done writing this. Pick a pair and I promise you won't be disappointed. World.
