There comes the time when you remember the days you've been spinning records as a DJ... when you take your MK2's from the shelf just to see whether they still work... When you cannot resist the temptation of hooking them up to your high end system... Hell, those old house records still work

Those older Ortofon cartridges really suck. Their contacts are too short to make a reliable electrical connection. DJs used to wet them, which in the long run corrodes the contacts in the tone arm.
