With the Nexus everything you mentioned is so much easier. it also has a shorter signal path and no dvs required cuz of USB.

No usb cable and no 2 pairs of RCA required.

That's a very valid point - removing 2 pairs of crappy RCA's and a serato or traktor interface will make a big difference. USB cable make no difference. It's digital data so whether the data is sent via usb cable to interface or from USB drive to built in CDJ DAC, the signal path makes no difference at all - it's still a USB connection.

..but then again, you can hack traktor to work with any soundcard so that's not problem

Rann, when I used Traktor with my m5g's I used the shortest connection possible with like you mentioned before neutrik connectors and everything was solid.

When you say any soundcard, do you mean you can timecode vinyl with a lets say a lynx hilo?

I know for a fact I will miss the techs but I do also know there will better turntables made in the future. Reloop has a model currently competing agains't the SL-1210 M5G

Yep. Any souncard. Lavry, Lynx, Metric Halo, Cranesong. Whatever you want.

Better turntables will not be made for dj'ing. Reloop kit is shit. Vestax lost millions on making a better turntable. So did stanton.

No one got it as right as technics and they were the only ones with enough market share to make it viable.

The trick is not getting them locked but having a good ear and bring able to ride the pitch faders correcting for adjustments nobody else can hear. You should be able to have them in sync in 3 seconds. 5 seconds to level out and then a few adjustments.

Yep, being able to ride the pitch is essential, but honestly, I've seen guys get it so dialed in during the first few seconds that they never touch it again.

I don't see the big deal with having to ride the pitch even if you don't get it locked perfectly first time. I takes all of what, 2 seconds to adjust, and that means you've got at least 3-4 minutes of spare time on your hands between mixes.

That extra time sure make newbs drool who are basically looking at everything your doing.

It's all down to technique

Yes, Jeff Mills is nasty. The only thing I can't do is DJ with a watch, it might look classy but that shit gets in my way all the time.

There's a lot of hype over these. I know a few of die hard DJ's who are jumping ship.
