Shure Whitelabel DJ Turntable Cartridge
$79.95
The Shure Whitelabel is designed for party and club DJs spinning everything from house and techno to trance, dance, and jungle. With a sleek and ergonomic design, the cartridge additionally delivers higher trackability, lower tone-arm resonance, and better skip resistance. It also includes an adjustable stylus overhang, reliable electrical contact, and improved stylus visibility. Whitelabel’s sonic characteristics include solid drop bass, flat mids, and accented highs, all tailored for the club environment. Shure phono cartridges are micro-manufactured, electro-mechanical devices that tell an entire audio system what's happening along the half-mile groove that's cut into the typical analog disc. The quality of the information provided by the cartridge determines how faithfully any audio system will reproduce the recorded sound. Skip Resistance: high Output: high Record Wear: very low Sound Emphasis: solid drop bass with detailed mids and highs Features The Design: Industrial, ergonomic, and plays to the cartridge's technological benefits of headshell mounted cartridges. Forward-Mass Design: Center of gravity is displaced closer to the cantilever for optimal performance. Forward-mass produces higher trackability, lower tone-arm resonance, better skip resistance and requires lower tracking forces. Adjustable overhang (50mm - 54mm): Unique to Shure products, adjustable overhang retains the forward and backward adjustment of a standard-mount headshell, providing maximum flexible adjustment between S-arm and straight-arm turntables. Electrical Contact: Engineered for optimized compatibility with most professional turntables, a rubber tension gasket and rounded gold plated pins limit possible damage caused by over-tightening cartridge to the tone-arm. Stylus Visibility: DJs can see exactly where they drop the needle.

What is the normal life span of a DJ Turntable needle and cartridge? ?
I am looking to buy some turntables but I want to see if it is too expensive to keep buying needles. And also does life of needles differ when it comes to a brand name?
Better brand equals better quality equals longer lifespan.
