| 22.12.2011 The BIG needle and cartridge thread. | 30 | 16.01.2012 |
| Wich needle and cartridge do you prefer ? Why ? Give us the pro's and cons. I only have experience with ortofon concordes but I heard they rip your vinyl up like mad, and since I'm playing tunes like mad, this seems like a bad combination. So I might switch to something that extends the… | ||

| 28.12.2011 Couple of questons. | 3 | 01.01.2012 |
| One of my tt's emits a very soft sound, very grumbly and distorted. I'm positive its a cartridge problem or possibly a grounding issue.

| 19.12.2011 Likelihood of Serato/Traktor for iPad at NAMM? | 30 | 31.12.2011 |
| I believe it's LONG overdue and could be a major reason to hold off on buying any DVS if it's true. I would expect Rane/Native Instruments to create their own soundcard for the iPad then either have the app as a free download (Rane) or as a paid download (NI). | ||
