huh. i had read that the technics 1200 wasn't the best for audiophile quality because of the noise from the (required for djing) very powerful platter/torque?

i won't proclaim myself a great expert on it, but was repeating what i had read before.

and yeah, dj mixers bad. i run my table through a soundboard with built in RIAA eq for vinyl ripping. lil soundcraft compact 4. does the trick.
