Asked the question on FB as to what equipment the fellow DJs were using as I needed to get new carts/styli because my ancient Ortofon Q-Berts don’t appear to be contacting properly anymore… ANYWAY lots of responses on it but then thought I’d check the depths of the loft for a quick looksee for a spare cart. Turns out there was a few bits 🤣😅… pimped HD25s headphones and my original ACS custom ear plugs amongst it all. There was a pair of Vestax PDX 2300ii decks floating about in there too 🫣💀 I remember buying Shure 447 styli on carded strips for about £10-12 or so back in 98/2000s. Used to sell them from Sure-Shots website ex vat for £18 from Guernsey. Now the Jico equivalent are about 5 times that.
