If you consider yourself a DJ, you should have your own needles, just like someone said with headphones.
As far as someone saying venues don't give a shit about the quality of their equipment....I dare you to check out Miss Libertine (formally Mac's on Franklin St in the city).

Agreed.......but how long has that venue been open?

I had the same needles on my decks for 2.5 years. Most club needles were actually better than mine anyway.
different story now. but I still don't bring my own, I've had bad experiences taking my equipment out of the house. If a club's needles are shot then I'll just use Marcus's ortofons...... thanx marcus
I've had my ortofon's for a fair while and haven't needed to change the needles, and they get used heaps!
If you set them up properly, they shouldn't wear more any more than other needles, and I reckon the whole record wear thing is a bit of a myth.
The only thing I did notice is that they are more prone to put a 'click' on the record if your cueing back and forth like crazy and stop all of a sudden,..solution; don't cue as aggressively.
They sound so much nicer, everybody seems to swear by Shure M447's, but they haven't got shit on concords imo.

Do you take them out with you?

the irregularities in the records easily damage the cantilevers
the tips last like any other, but i strongly believe the cantilevers are sensitive. its the natural trade off between a good sounding, sensitive needle, and a lower fidelity, sturdier needle
My setup is always correct also
yes they shit on the 447
the 44G sound better than the 4477 also but again I decided to go from gs to 7s cos of the practicality
try putting your needle on a record and seeing how it floats, would be interesting to see if the cantilever still has its suspension
