Stanton 750 Professional DJ Turntable Cartridge

This is good for the money...

I've had these since August 15 2018 using Serato DJ vinyls on Technics 1200's MK4s. I DJ every weekend, sometimes three nights, so these get used periodically. I've always used Stantons and was surprised when I found these. Stanton hasn't made a cartridge in years. I had the 650s that lasted for 10 years. Those things were tanks and are almost impossible to find anymore! Was hoping to get the same type of quality and usage from these 750s. Unfortunately one of the needles fell off of the stylus in just 5 months. Fortunately, Stanton has great customer service and I was able to get a new stylus under the 1 year warranty. I hoping that this was a fluke and that they'll last me as long as my 650s. Will update review if I run into another fluke. Pros: Tracking is excellent and runs smoothly on a clean record. These are also great for scratching and mixing. Cons: One of the needles fell completely off the cartridge on January 18 2019, just 5 months. Pros: I was under the 1 year warranty. Called Stanton up and they're sending me a new cartridge.

I bought a bunch of these last year from another supplier. While they're OK for DJing, they aren't anything like the 680ELs that were standard in the 80s. This cartridge isn't a Stanton at all, but an Audio Technica AT95 with a conical stylus instead of the elliptical that comes in the AT95E. It is exactly the same cartridge as this one, the Numark Groove Tool, as both Stanton and Numark are now owned by Inmusic. https://www.amazon.com/Numark-Groove-Tool-Cartridge-Stylus/dp/B0002E3DHG?th=1

I’ve purchased this cartridge before. It’s a great cartridge for the money. It’ll increase your volume and clarity. The only drawback is it’ll also pick up a little surface noise...especially on vintage records. Easy to install. Looks good. Recommended!

I think it's a good sounding cartridge. It's lite so I had to add weight to my headshell to get 3 grams tracking with my old Pioneer TT..
