Numark Turntables?
Numark Turntables? Posted on: 13.12.2011 by Erich Vallabhaneni Ok im getting ready to get some tables to accommodate my S4, and i was looking at the TTX1 and i realized they are kinda hard to find for some reason but the USB version is easy to come by. Some reviews say the USB version is good for scratching while others say it sucks for scratching and is only good for mixing. Im looking for something decent to scratch on but mostly mixing. Ideas? | |
| Nella Libin 13.12.2011 | Me, i dont give a shit as long as it gets the same job done for less money.. if branding bothered me that much id go down the market and buy a fake addidas and sew some badges on Next you'll be recommending directional oxygen free copper cables with gold banana plugs before ya know it |
| Wei Lebeaux 13.12.2011 | Turntable snob? Really? No, I just don't like decks that are built like shit. Sorry. No plastic in my turntables. |

Numarks in good order are perfectly fit for purpose, cheap as chips second hand and as long as buy direct drive you'll always get your money back if and when you outgrow them In 89 ish i learned on belt drive wooden cased Garrard decks without pitch controls.. How the hell did i manage.. Edit: ^^^ i agree with above Direct drive is an absolute must, i had no choice 20 years ago, these days for a few quid extra it costs to get direct drives, its a no brainer |

I swore id never touch vinyl again for mixing, but if you look at the stuff i play on my mixcloud pages, it aint out there digitally so its Wax only and rip it myself... Then of course you get to believeing... why should i bother ripping when i got the original on wax? Loads of the stuff i record at home is mixed via analogue mixer with TT decks in 2 channels and the two outs from the midi in to the other two channels.. You could of course do this with a 2 channel mixer and flick the line / phono switch as required |

| Erich Vallabhaneni 13.12.2011 | U-31 you have some TT200's? Would they be good to kinda get a feel for vinyl and see if i want to go DVS or just stay digital? |
| Erich Vallabhaneni 13.12.2011 | yeah but like i said, i would love technics because thats whats getting me into trying out vinyl. (i love controllerism) But i don't really want to throw that much money into it especially if im not that into in and just stick with the S4 and my midi fighter. Do you know if the TTXUSB is decent for beginner turntablist? i mean if its just for listening to records then I'm not gonna worry about it ill get something like the Stanton T.62 or a St.150. I mean i know technics are the best there are but they arent the ONLY good turntable |
| Nella Libin 13.12.2011 | Not had a problem with tt200, apart from the motor is obviously less tourquey then a Technics, not a problem, just make sure the slip mat does what it says on the tin. Zero problems with dodgy pitch or sticky pitch sliders here For |

| Nisha Latkowski 13.12.2011 | I wouldn't. The Numarks feel so damn cheap. I would look for some used 1200s. |
