Additional Info

The Pickering 150DJ is a forgiving DJ workhorse built on the XV-15 platform. Its spherical tip trades ultimate resolution for robust, non-fussy tracking through scratches, warps and heavy handling, keeping vocals natural and bass present without tightness. Loose imaging bothers nobody at a beat-matching booth, and durability comes first. The D-150DJ stylus is replaceable, so hard use stays cheap.
