depends what you want out of them,
sure is great for sticking in the groove, look at the m44g or m447 for scratching
the ortofon concordes are great, specially for sound quality
stanton also make great carts
it all depends on budget and what you want from them

from personal use and also hearing tones of horror stories don’t get concords, there built with plastic, tend to break or often you hear about how the left chann drops out cos the contacts of the head shell to the tone arm are shit...
mind you, ortofon make ****ing good carts, just not concords, stick with the OMs. they will last you longer, track damn nice and giving out amazing sound reproduction for a set of dj carts. Not to mention there cheaper than the concords
i was running a pair of stanton 505sks for a while and found them to be utter crap....i could not believe what a difference whacking a pair of ortofon OM pros on did.
pros have been good to me, but i feel its time to update, so im getting a pair of OM DJS with 2 replacement styli that happen to be the DJE...when i get them ill post on here if the elliptical styli really warrants the extra cash to get.
id never buy shure, cos they look like am jumbo jet, and i hear there just too bassy with there response output
thats my 2cents

i'd get the shures, they are cheap and if ur only mixin u prolly wont have to buy new stylus's for at least a year or more, they can withstand the hardest of beatings and sound amazin, plus they rarely skip even on shit decks

itchy is right.....get Shure's The M-44G has AWSOME sound reproduction. They also stick till no end. If you are a scratcher go with the M-447, they stick a lil better than the G's but have more bass to them. Idealy BOTH are the best cart to get, because they DO NOT wear out your records. But as always make sure your tone arm is calibrated correctly.

couple of nice things
with the sure m44-g/7 you can swap the stylus between the two as the cart is the same
and with the ortofons you can also put any stylus on any cart

yes that is true, but on the other hand ort. uses elliptical styli, where as shure uses a spherical styli, which is FAR better for your records

all ortofon carts come with the choice of spherical or elliptical styli, + i dont know why you think spherical is better for your records, if its not a moving coil cart, elliptical will give you better response and less burn than spherical
