Sample quality I understand (you would want this to the the highest quality possible, right?)

Recording cuts?? What like, recording whole albums? Or what?

Anyway, Shure M44-7's are good needles for scratching with and DJing in general, but I doubt they are top-of-the-line sound quality. The treble is not as extended on them. i use them on my 1210's, and I do sample off them, but this is just lazyness (I think?).

For sampling and whatever, you want the best quality possible. You know that the quality starts with the deck itself, right? So you need an Linn LP12 with a nice arm and cart combo on it. My LP12 is in the cupboard because I have no room for it :-( Think I need a bigger flat for 3 turntables...
