you must have SHIT needles if they constantly wear out and you only sample.

if your not getting your scratch on, they shopuld last for forever.

get a needle specifically made for scratching. they last longer
i have ortofon om pro (silver)

Shure M-447's Or Ortofon Dj's The Ortofon Dj's might be better for you since you dont skratch or anything and its just for sampling. I have both.

I've personally always been very satisfied with the Ortofon scratch pick- up...it's not cheap though.

 

[DjDelay]

Speaking from a DJ's point of view, Shure m447's track the best and have really good bass. But for pure sound quality look at either ortofons or concorde style stantons

The dj craze (520SK) by Stanton is the best i've ever used for the price. It will cut your vinyl up if you dont use a lot of counterweigh though.
