djexecute Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I wanna know because I sold up my gear for a Numark NS7, but missing that vinyl feel, kinda want both... wanted to know now with Technics going under (http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/10/end-of-an-era-panasonic-kills-off-technics-turntables/ sad day ) if it's worth looking at another manufacturer? Being very partial to the 1200 series like most people but I honestly haven't tried any other direct drive turntable, honestly they probably would perform the same, knowing what sort of bar Technics had set for the market, I think it's a case that Technics was simply the industry standard.But please let me know your thoughts all.But PS: Now's a good time to potentially buy Technics turntables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 yes i know many ppl that scratch w str180s. what you have to remember is techs are light on the torque so a lot of turntablists moved away from techs a while back. qbert uses vestax.

djexecute Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Interesting. I kinda forgot Q used Vestax... Yeah been looking up Stanton STR8-150's and Vestax PDX-3000MKII all night they seem to have narrowed down to the best contenders.Really interested in the STR8-150's, they seem to have the best reviews and 100% positive feedback for scratch use....Thnx dude.
