Designed with the influences of turntablists and scratch DJs from around the world, the Ortofon Scratch benefits from a reinforced rubber suspension that helps maintain the cart under varying tracking forces. Also, with solid bass reproduction ad extended highs, the Scratch is great for any style, providing like its bold (and useful for cueing in the dark) good looks, a great energetic, in-your-face sound.
