  • Picked up a set of 1210mk2's recently to give mixing a go. Need to replace the needles and would appreciate some advice or recommendations.

    Currently got a Nagaoka mp30 which needs to be replaced along with original headshell. £60 for just the needle. The decks came with technics heads and stanton cartridges, one needle sounds good enough to use briefly while the other is toast. Plan is to learn how to mix properly and get a few gigs here and there if all goes well, no heavy scratching/ hip hop don't stop vibes, just bits of reggae, disco, funk, cumbia so light backcueing..

    Undecided wether to just buy a set of Ortofon Club mk2 for £220 or a new mp110 needle and another Mp110 Cart/stylus/headshell for £165? Then sell the stanton cartridges and technics heads on ebay to help with the costs.

    Ha - I used to record this guy's radio shows on MiniDisc 20 years ago 🙂
    Met him years later in one of the venues he was a resident in and had a great chat.. super nice, humble guy who definitely knows what's up when it comes to DJ-ing 👍
