Numark TTX1 Digital
| quote: | :
This premium Direct Drive deck looks like it may just possibly be the best deck ever. The result of extensive research, the TTX1 boasts a torque of 3.7 Kg/cm (more than twice that of a Technics) an intuitive interchangeable tonearm system (both straight and s-shaped tonearms provided) and a whole host of additional features such as blue illuminated LCD Display with BPM/Pitch info, 33-45-78 RPM speeds including reverse, adjustable break and start-up, 10/20/50% pitch ranges, interchangeable pitch fader, Digital Out - Line Output and if that wasn't enough we are including FREE Ortofon OM Pro S Cartridge.

Quartz Synthesizer Direct Drive Turntable
Quartz locked continuous pitch adjustment up to +/-8%

is digital the way to go ? I dunno which one to get as people are giving conflicting views! The Numarks have a far higher torque and are said to be better than the Technics? Whats your oppinion and which pair should I get? |

first off, where are you seeing this?

I guess the place youre looking at buying from has a deal . . . maybe you can let us in on it.
to tell you the truth, the difference between the two is really a matter of opinion.
but the fact of the matter is, if everything is compared to the Tech, then why not just get what is the best?
however, the TTx does boast many features, but ask yourself how much you would use them and if you would ever question the build quality of them. |

| I've got a pair of TTX1s and a tech 12 and I really like both, but I've decided the TTX1s give me more control over the vinyl. The only thing that has really annoyed me is the fact that they only go in .1% pitch adjust. Even still, I've ended up using mainly just the TTX1s. I say if you can you should go out and check out both tables and see which one you prefer the feel of. Whichever you purchase though, you'll be happy with them. |

I think the real test will be to see if the TTX-1's are still being made with little change after 30 odd years. Being simpler does have it's advantages.
Technics look better :p |

I'm gonna get myself a pair of TTX1's soon, simply because they seem to be a better deal, at least in terms of what you can do with them. The mere fact that they're more flexible than Tech 1210's means that you have more creative possibilities.
Of course, on the other hand, you have the table that's been the industry standard for...well basically forever. And not because it has a bunch of snazzy features, it's because they're known to be extremely reliable.
I guess the only question that really remains to be asked between the two tables is "Which one will stand the test of time better than the other?" |

i have spun on the TTX-1s and i can say with great confidence that I love my Technics so much more. yes the TTX does have features on it that the 1200s dont, but c'mon. no matter what, BPM counters will never be as accurate as your ear. alot of DJs think of BPMs as cheating. besides, your vinyls are analog, what in the hell is the point in having a digital turntable? Technics have more torque than you need, so IMO the more torque thing is kinda redundant. who the cares what color your LEDs are. trust me, blue LEDs are not gonna make you a better DJ. you dont need a straight tone arm unless you are doing some serious scratching.
IMO (and please im not trying to rag on anybodys TTs), my first impression of the TTX-1 was it was cheaply constructed, it looked increadibly cheesy, and had way too many things on it that can break.
All i know is that if im still spinning in 10 years, im gonna be glad i bought 1200s cuz i know they will still be goin strong that far from now. I cant say that about the TTX-1, only time will tell. |

Thanks for the replys guys...
Wish it was more one sided though as I'm still undecided. The website is www.djstore.co.uk Looking at the reviews the Technics get poor comments while the Numaks have all 5 stars and say get off the Technic saga as these decks are better etc.
The Numarks do look cool though but then again clubs have the Technics! O decisions!!!!
Arent many clubs now choosing the new digital Stantons now ie. Ministry ?
Anyway anyother help deciding is much appricated :D |

make a decision and go with it....both TTX1s and technics will treat u right....
i have the TTX1s and i abolutly love them....yea they have a BPM but that doesnt make them cheesy or a cheater table....i always have it set to just show the pitch...so no cheating there....
as for the looks its all opinion....i just think they look a lil more modern than the boxy technics but again its all what you like.... |

If you buy the numarks over 1200s/1210s you are a dumbass
Like choosing a fiesta popular over a classic Ferrari or jag E type- its a no brainer |

lol... why does everyone have to hate on numarks and stantons? i mean, i think all those turntables look nice, and i bet they all work really well. the only downside i can see of having something like the ttx's or the stantons is that some of the electronics could possibly start malfunctioning 5-10 years down the line unlike the technics which stick with straight mechanics. i personally have technics because i found them for awesome prices (225 for mk2 and 250 for m3d) but i'm sure ttx's would be fine too. also, i'm sure if i occasionally got the chance to spin on ttx's i probably woulnd't like them too much either just because of the fact that i would be more used to using my own technics. but if they were the only tables i've spun with, i'm sure i would love them just as much. stop hating and putting other companies down. whats the point of you guys arguing?| quote: | | If you buy the numarks over 1200s/1210s you are a dumbass |
