Advantages: lighweight, slimline, durable, reasonable cheap, very good quality. Disadvantages: lightweight, slimline, some Djs do prefer bigger and heavier cartridges and styluses.
...As a Hip Hop Dj for over 10 years I have always used Ortofon, personally I think they make the best cartridges and styluses, because they are slimline, it makes it easier to find particular grooves on records, especially when trying to find a groove quickly not just cueing.
Other cartridges are a lot more bulkier, which can make it hard to see exactly where you are putting the stylus.
I am definitley buying the Q-Bert Stylus though, The last set of Ortofonstyluses I bought was in 2005. A pair for teaching at youth clubs (so they are robust!!!) and a pair for home and club use. They can last a long time. On the reaI though. I do have only one stylus left though.
Due to me being RECKLESS....

Advantages: Nice weight, Great Finish, Sound Amazing! Disadvantages: Slightly more pricier than other cymbals at the same level
...The New Paiste Alpha 'Pro' Range is something new, sweeping the Semi -Pro cymbal range completely under the carpet with a redefined look, sound and alloy. Constructed out of the traditional B8 Alloy, and hand hammered, the new Alpha Pro range certainly look great. Getting down to playing them, each cymbal blends with each other well, and most of the cymbals can be used amongst other cymbals if you rather swapping and mis matching your cymbals for that custom sound. Having tried out the ENTIRE Alpha Pro Range at my local music shop, yes all 34 cymbals, i fell in love completely, and purchased the entire 'Metal' Range of Alpha Pro (choosing the 22" ride rather than the 20" due to durability) and the Flat Ride, the New Paiste Alpha Pro Range is a great choice for the drummer looking for more than those cracked Planet Z's, Meinl Headliner...

Before buying this printer I used a professional lab for all my work. I was never really happy with the quality of black & white digial prints on colour paper.
The black & white prints from this printer are as good as I could get spending hours in the more
