I know a lot of people on here bedroom DJ
ive just got myself a set of these, they have no catridges installed yet I will have to purchase a pair but the main arm seems to sit upwards instead of down is this correct until i add catridges then it will weigh it down?
just wondering if there is something wrong its the same on both decks?
 
For scratching, or any use, you'd be best to stick with Shure or Ortofon (the non concorde variety). I've been through almost every cartridge on offer in my time and subjected them all to a serious amount of abuse. Nothing even comes close to Shure or Ortofon. Trust me when I say that you want to steer WELL clear of Stantons. :cool:

Edit: The two cartridges I always take with me and can thoroughly recommend are:

1 Ortofon OM (non concorde) with added "scratch" needle replacing the bundled one
2 Shure M44-7
