every great turntablist will disagree.

the pmc-05 pro mixer is what turntablists love, but I dunno about the turntables themselves, although I never used one.
RE: DJs ! Which deck do you prefer to play on ? - Grimmy - 23-10-09
I know about a dozen top class turntablists around the world and none of them really praise Vestax as a standard DJ-turntable to be anything special besides having more torque and skipping less easily than the Techs. But to your joy the same guys do also say that Vestaxs do beat Technics in the battle style turntablism sector. So unless you're a battle turntablist, Vestax isn't really the one and only brand.
Vestax do also have a much wider pitch range and adjustable start/stop and some other hardly ever used options but overall even if they're technically very tight, tighter than Techs, they feel is like i would be spinning with some children's toy version of turntables. All the fancy plastic makes me feel that while spinning which is totally wrong kind of impression IMO for this price range. Even if the material of the turntables shouldn't matter, the plastic just doesn't do it for me.
One thing why i think they suck for normal DJing and bedroom playin', is the straight tonearm which will wear out your vinyls much quicker than a curved one no matter how much/little weight you put. And when the hell would you need a +/- 50 pitch when mixing tunes? My +/- 16 more than enough.
Only thing i'm really missing with the Technics from the Vestax, are the detachable RCA cables. I've never been a fan of the cheapo "liquorice bands" Techs have as default. That's a minor fault tho. There is a reason for 1200/1210s have been the industry standard for over 30 years.
At the end of the day it's all about personal preference just like the neverending debate between the best standard DJ mixer; Pioneer or Allen & Heath.

Would that be to replace your VW badge then?
Silver all the way Mr P. I'd rather fancy a keychain if your looking for ideas on things to attach said minature turntables to.
RE: DJs ! Which deck do you prefer to play on ? - mr.pure - 23-10-09
Oh okay, a Silver 1210 keyring ?
No reason why not frankly.
I'll have to get on it.
Mad technical job building a proper copy of a 1210 though eh ?
I'll have to reel in my mad party lifestyle.

Grimmy: I just wanted to point out that they are not horrible, so there is no need for a debate. Everybody knows there is a reason that the techs still are industry standard, because they are awsome, but that does not mean everything else is shit compared.

Grimmy you keep surprising me day after day by how much you know about everything. Respect!
RE: DJs ! Which deck do you prefer to play on ? - Grimmy - 23-10-09
