Tomy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 pioneer = technics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 the pitch in technics is accurate and precise, but they lack torque; every time i've used a technics i've stopped it i know i'm heavy handed but i still can't compensate.also technics have this we charge the most cos we are the best attitude kinda like pioneer, but at least pioneer do have some low end equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 pioneer make technics i thought. Starting torque: 1.5 kg·cm also dont they run with magnets? therefore there is no actual touching movable parts, which means no matter how heavey handed you are the torque maybe a probelm but you wont burn out the motor or belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 panasonic make them, and yeah they don't but it just lacks the reponse time and i believe that it can damage the magnet or coil can't remember which one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 panasonic... knew it was some one. i've played a technics for 4 years now in clubs and at home and have never had any troubles. if it lacks response time then why do DMC use them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 pioneer do not make turntables and haven't for a long time. they sell one model in aus and NZ (DJ-3500) which is another manufacturer's tt rebadged. it's not sold anywhere else and is a low-mid range model.

Genetic Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 guess they have they're advantages of getting different sounds if it takes less time to spin up (torque wise) you have a bit more lee-way to do scratch things with.i've always looked at it like this if i stop something that is meant to be moving even if it has no direct contact movable parts i'm still doing damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 ill tell you why because its sad to say but turntables are a dying piece of hardware, and like any sensible business would do they invested all their worth into developing the cdj line which has become the standard sadly hasnt really been contested since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 denon make some good cdj's and the technics one is good too but they have so many other on board features that i wouldn't really use. the one thing i like about denon is the bpm counter has a decimal for a little bit more accuracy (even though it's really just a useful shortcut) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 i love my technics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 yes it seems the standard that anyone who has technics loves them,numark top end range loves them, and stanton loves them, i don't know of anyone that has any vestax tables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genetic Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 yeah but you can dvs with cdj's too, alot of turntableness as far as the crowd is concerned is that it makes it look like a dj is doing more work because things are moving and changing with a cdj most people think that anyone can dj with cd's and that there is no skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be buying a cdj soon but wont stop my vinyl purchases though.Plenty of vinyl is still being released daily so it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 the biggest problem i forsee is all the new touch screen pads to control software are going to take even more skill away from mixing, beatmatching gets taken away with the sync on software, and you no longer see anything being done with the turnpad(touch platter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
