Numark TTUSB Turntables
Numark TTUSB Turntables Posted on: 10.03.2011 by Nedra Fresneda Are they any good? I couldn't find anything searching the community
s. They are the cheapest around here. I don't need the soundcards but they don't sell any without them.I know they are belt drive (I don't scratch) and I'll be better picking up some Techs or Stantons, but these are scarse and prizes are mad ($550 each beaten to death 1210mk2 or $1850 for each mk5). I'll be using them for beatmatching practice only since carting a pair of TTs on a motorbike is quite bitchy (or plainly insane) and that's the main reason I can't justify the pricetag of better turntables with my current setup (if you don't consider gearwhoring). Any input is more than welcome Edit: STANTON T52B-AR are another option | |

| Nedra Fresneda 10.03.2011 | I'll save and get something decent then. Thx for the input everyone |
| Tatum Ansaldo 10.03.2011 | torque is an issue with belt drives as well, it's harder to make precise and fast adjustments. |

| Leeanna Ayla 10.03.2011 | What about the Stanton T92 or T62B? Both direct drive and seem to get decent reviews, although I didn't dig to deep. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 10.03.2011 | yeh, don't waste your money. I had cheap decks a while back and watching the BPM fluctuate in Traktor using timecode was ridiculous, like +-1% which ruins beatmatching. |
| Teodora Hancharik 10.03.2011 | Don't waste your $ on belt driven Numark TTusb's. Or any other belt driven deck. After a bit of use the belt gets loose and your mixes go off beat. I would go with a set of Numark TTXusb's. Those decks are pure BEAST MODE!! Check eBay. You can pick up a set for under $400. Make sure they are TTXusb. The TTx's are the first gen of these decks. They had a few problems that got sorted out with the TTXusb model. I've had a 2 sets of 1200's, Vestax PDX-2000's & Numark TTXusb's Truth be told I preferred the TTX's. Things are built like tanks. Ask any turntablist and they will tell you about these bad boys. |
