numark tt200, problem with tempo

[BRADLEE]

Yeah homie, the issue is really that they are Numark Decks. THe TTX1's aren't too bad, but I wouldn't trust any other decks from them.

[RDR]

problem is they dont have a target light on them to they... so no hope of checking them for wow and flutter.
and they are numark, wouldnt EVER bother with numark/korg DJ equipment i have Cig Packets which have better construction.

Sell em on thats my advice.

if you do want to check them, get a record with a constant tone on it and listen for fluctuations.

or set both decks at quartz lock and get two copies of the same record and sync them up and see what happens.

No chaps gonna disagree with you there! I have had my Numarks for 6 years or whatever it is and i have never had a problem with them and they mix like a dream. I know they are not solid and only have low torque, but i cannot knock mine and still use them to this date!

Fair enough.

Many a good tune played on an old fiddle, and a good mix is still a good mix no matter what you used.

i agree mate, its all depend on ur skills but there is nothing worse than dont enjoy playing. thats wot u get on shit decks

[DJCraig Ryan]

Yeah if your not enjoying your mixing then it is deffo time to change. I think the thing with me is that i learnt on them from the start and they are just natural to me now after such a long time. Dont get me wrong i can use techs but still prefer my old decks!

[thomas_figo]

exactly know wot u mean dude. i still miss my first belt drives numarks.
