At the moment I'm using Stanton 500 cartridges with Stanton D500 AL MK-II styli.

The styli seem to be wearing out a little and are absolutely awful at keeping track of the record if I'm cueing.

Just been having a nosey around http://www.htfr.com/cartridges/ and saw some Numark CS1's for £35. They look very fancy, but the thing is, do they do the job?

Using some KAM decks for anyone who doesn't know :)

Cheers guys.

edit... The CC1's seem to be quite similar and are the same price. Any differences between the two?

I *think* the Shure cartridges come super highly recommended, don't ask me for proof though, I don't know a great deal about them, maybe someone else knows the model I'm talking about.
 
Shure tend to be marketed more towards the turntabilist market.

Personally i use ortofon om pro silver. Try to avoid cartridges that attach direct to your tone arm as there have been some instances of them damaging the tone arm.
