i have a friend who bought the belt drive version of this deck and for a belt drive it was pretty decent.

for performance i couldnt comment but i have seen one of these decks in a shop and it felt pretty heavy, platter didnt give too much, looked like a decent quality deck :)

but i have heard tales of reverse motors effecting performance of turntables as they operate on 2 polarities or something...(dont understand what im talking about and it could be rubbish) burt a couple of people i know have talked about something similar to me when i was half listening :P .

you got nice digital out there which is a nice addition although the source is allways going to be analog i can see it sounding crisper through this.

Thought i would be different, and not stick to the technics, what do guys think?
what matters is what you think :)

how they performing for you?

if there pleasing you then yah sorted.

as long as you can accuratly match both beats and they stay in sync and u dont have to physically launch the record off from its cue point id say the turntable is a decent one for home.

there infinetly better than my first turntables (which was a numark belt drive with a ruddy plastic platter that liekd to move 10 inches up and down)

but i have mixes i recorded back then that still sound pretty tight as i learned how to manipulate them and as they were allways going out i think they helped me learn.

i very much doubt youll have the problems i had with these turntables but i was a 16 year old with minimum cash

.....god i do waffle on when its late dont i :?

(stops waffling) :)
