if you use the best pickup available on the market you dont hear all the distortion that 90% of the clients will get (in worse case) cause they use ortofon crap pickups, which unfortunately is the standard in clubs...
change from 33 to 45 RPM everything was super shiny. the cut is VERY good now...

I agree with all of this. I use an ortofon cartridge for playback. It has a very flat frequency response but very low compliance. It is very sensitive to high frequency distortion. If it sounds good with this it will sound good under most conditions. There is a lot of mental calculation that has to happen when you cut to guess what you're going to get on playback. 45 rpm gives you a lot more wiggle room.
