[Dynagroove] Getting new needles- Any suggestions?

[Brian Cabalic]

On a side note, HEADSHELLS.

Try to get the genuine Techniques headshells.  I use Stanton one (because
they were less expensive) and i dont think the contacts are as reliable as
the Techniques. Especially if you start playing out alot the last thing you
want to tinker with is your needles...licking the contacts, overtightening
the tonearm, etc.

For sound clarity, I like recording using the Ortofon Night Clubs w/ E
series styli.

But when playing out I use Shures M35x. Good needle Decent price.  I used to
use the Ortofon Concordes, but found myself hittin the needle arm now and
then. It can be hassle if you like to mix with one hand always on the pitch
slider...
