Use an archival quality needle like the Stanton 890 FS. Bertenshaw, recommended the high-fidelity needles from Shure for around US$200" I use Stanton "Trackmaster" needles, and the ONLY difference between the 890FS, and the Trackmaster is a 5dB difference in Channel Seperattion. The average person is not going to notice that. So for whoever to say that "Scratch/Club" needles are not good for converting your vinyl to digital is crazy. Just my 2 cents.
