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.
i don't want to spend a ridiculous amount for something "audiophile" that isn't any more practicle for mix samples than what there is for under $100.
so far I've also been told the Ortofon PRO S is a good choice.
any other recommendations, preferably in the $50-100 range?
also, if there is a better forum here, or even a better chat board elsewhere for this type of question, please let me know.
advance thanks,
jason

The ortofon would be my choice. However, I also have m44's and find them okay for sampling- however, I try not to do that too much- it's always better to just play it out :)
