[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1022763, member: 176704"] Looking into that Ortofon and the Shure a bit more, they are two very different beasts: the first is a lowish-end lightweight hifi cartridge with a low tracking weight (1.5-2.0gms) whilst the second is a "DJ" stylus that is heavier and (presumably) is of sturdier construction with a higher tracking force range (1.0-3.0gms) [I]and is claimed to have a very high "skip resistance"[/I]- and so no wonder that the Shure does not baulk so much at imperfections on the records! Edited: Also, the Shure has around twice the o/p voltage of the Ortofon, - so it's almost certainly going to sound "louder" than the latter. Can you adjust the preamp gain to compensate for that? Nevertheless, maybe that Ortofon is not the "right" cartridge for you - so maybe one of the [URL='http://www.stantondj.com/cartridges.html']Stanton range[/URL] might be a more suitable modern cartridge for you. However, might the real problem be your records - are they really flat and "clean"? [/QUOTE]
