My friends
I Believe some of you are being fooled by the great look and I agree with DJ Dawn here,
you cant make a blind test simply because the two turntables looks different.
Anyway, for my opinion the torque is not so important, again ill have to agree with DJTJ that what matters is the sustained torque, simply beacuse you dont cue a record with pressing play and stop, its not a CDJ...

torque is important... and people worry about it too much cuz its easy to put a number on.

but like it was said, there reaches a point when torque is plenty. once you got enough to skid the slipmat, you've got enough. this is the case with a technics.

what you REALLY want to worry about, is STABILITY! how good the table holds it's speed during a mix!!

It's pretty difficult to break standards you know. Even if they manage to release something that kicks the Tech into oblivion, it would take years before the majority of clubs/gigs/... will accept the new device as a standard.

The Ministry of Sound, london UK have just bought new decks, 6 x Stanton STR8-100's to replace their Technic's.

Ever thought about it they are sponsored by Stanton...

Besides, MoS is more a showoff club, they want all the newest stuff just to be able to show their prestige. MoS isn't really the club you must uphold as the standard, they change their gear more often than anyone else.

well.. keylock at least is something that would be very nice if it ever worked right.. i wonder if this thing's got digital outputs since there definitely are dsp's inside it.. that would rock too.

I think this one has digital output. It's increasingly becoming a turntable must-have.

Originally posted by DJTJ Let me just say, Who gives a shit about startup torque? SUSTAINED torque is what's needed, not startup torque. And I seriously doubt whether these Numarks can hold up to Technics in this department (I'm speculating here, I can't see the link you gave because Flash isn't on this Solaris machine I'm using).

yea serious, you dont need startup torque. Dont buy shit based on looks either. Technics are nice and simple with no useless features (well maybe the pitch reset on the m3ds). Nothing will ever come close to the technics
