DJ Cartridge for vintage turntable
Hi i have a vintage toshiba music centre with a fully automatic DC-servo turntable. it is exactly like this picture:
Toshiba SM 3750 Music Centre | Flickr - Photo Sharing! but mine had a "sony ND-134G" cartridge. the sound was very good and interesting but unfortunately i broke the needle and its cost about 20$ for repair and 30$ for replacing the needle if i could recieve (because i live in iran so i can buy but there is no guarantee for shiping to iran) so i went to store and found some other cartridges .the "numark DJ cartridge cs-1" is so good looking for me but i dont know how it works with my turntable, because of the term "DJ" .the tracking pressure is about 3 grams ,maybe its some high, but i dont know what to do. if the phono cartridges like "shure" and "audio thecnica" with the same price as "numark cs-1" are better for me? Any advise will be welcome |

DJ cartridges are more about resisting the side pressure of scratching than fidelity or preserving the record. While they are quite popular and available, I wouldn't use one on any record I intended to play more than once. I know shure makes both hifi and DJ cartridges. If you can get a Shure M97, I have been using mine 30 years, the disks are fine, and they are still in production. fits 1/2" spaced vertical screws, the old standard. Tracking is about 1.5 gram, with some of that taken up by a brush.
Delivery could be a problem, of course. Amazon.com sells them here.
