I have a second set-up for sampling. A "hi-fi" turntable with a decent audio technica cartridge and a project a preamp. A normal DJ setup makes my "hi-fi" setup sound brittle (since the lows are tight and the highs are sharp) There's something to be said about making your samples sound gritty by playing back through a 1200 and a dj mixer, as it has that familiar sonic signature, but I usually find myself sampling with my "hi-fi" setup. For sampling and playing with a 1200 I've been happy with 44g's. A good resource for the non DJ oriented side of turntables, preamps and needles is needledoctor.com. They have a pretty thoughtful selection.
