I've got a set of them as well (inherited them when a mate sold his decks) but they're not as loud as the M44-7's...

I've heard some say they wear your records out quicker but I havent noticed. Cant recomend them enough!!!!
only problem i had with shure needles is when there is a bit of a lip around the outside of the vinyl it makes it skip just at the begining cos there flat

I've got a pair and I fucking love them, sold me Ortofons when I got these badboys! I think they're a little more expensive than the M44's, but i don't know how they fair in comparison!

If you dont scratch and just bothered with sound quality and frequency response I would give this a thought: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/304485-01.htm

10 - 55000 Hz frequency response! I need to get some of these babies,better get savin 8)

i heard they wear out quick, but compared to what? i dont know.

the piece of plastic that came with my 1210 seems to do the trick for both mixing and scratching.

a sort of a special skratch dj oriented slipmat, with special material on the bottom side which touches the plate so that there is much less fricition with the turntable itself and they are like 1mm thin, which makes them take up a lil less place in the record bag. Basically good for skratching and for carrying about with you to gigs in case the promoter forgets the turntables need slipmats.
