The simple fact is that technics are the best buy you can get for the money!!

They have been the industry standard for over twenty years now, see if you can tell me any other piece of equipment for anything that has a track record loke technics?

You buy a set of technics, spill beer on them, drop them, punch em, thrash em, scratch heavilly with them, stand on them(it happens!), and 15 years later they are still working pefectly!!!

Most other decks have a life expectancy of 6 years, and thats if you treat them with respect!!!

I have used the vestax, AND I DONT LIKE THEM!! They are too priecise, and i found them to be too cumbersome when scratching and beat jugling!!
