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.
what matters is what you think :)Thought i would be different, and not stick to the technics, what do guys 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 turntablesbut i was a 16 year old with minimum cash
.....god i do waffle on when its late dont i :?
(stops waffling) :)
