i currently use a Shure M44-7 with a Technics 1200 turntable + NAD phono pre.
during mixing, i find myself dipping the EQ of the vinyl samples at various points between 1 and 5 k. mainly around 3k.

is there a cartridge more suitable for getting samples to be used in mixes? usually drums (kick/snr/cymbals/toms/etc.)?

i was told the Shure M35S would be better choice.
