I'm happy and jealous too.

like my new sig? I thought it was appropriate. I'm going to make it smaller though, I realize that it's stretching out the screen

Good choice, have fun with them !

You bought the best wheels of steel on earth.
Bought mine in 1984 and they're still spinning...

RavingLunatic, can't see the sig picture! Its just a red cross. Maybe it didn't upload properly?

Anyway, my Techs are sweet. Bought them second hand, but the previous owner treated them with a lot of respect and they are in excellent condition - only one very minor scratch on the top metal bit of the tonearm assembly. Got flightcases included, as well! Had to walk back from the shop with them though, about 2 miles. I don't think my shoulders will ever be the same again.

Tis very strange, that you can't see it.

right click on the picture, select properties, and copy the location of the picture. paste it into the address bar. the picture shows up. then hit back in your browser and it shows up here too..

weird.

ah...My techs experienced a minor setback. I had 1300 of the 1550 needed and then BAM! Expenses I hadnt counted on, not im back down to 650 in savings....
So itll be another month...damn numark belt drives r drivin me nuts!!!!!


BTW Brinkster doesnt allow remote linking anymore...so thats why your sig wont show up

I used to like Technics a lot, but I have changed my liking of decks. I now prefer Vestax. I know many of you prefer the Technics but the Vestax are so much better as an all round DJ turntable. Okay, I know I'm probably in for an argument here but I would just like to say how Vestax have improved my DJing. Firstly Technics 1200s have been around for ages and all the new 12xx series turntables are still built on the old foundation that took Technics to the top, but the TT's were not originally designed for DJing, where Vestax were. Vestax have up to 60% pitch adjust, too much really, but good for inventive mixes. Technics pitch adjust should be 8% right? But when digitally measured over 100 brand new TT's the pitch adjust is only 6.3% and if you change the calibration on pitch adjust under the platter, bye bye warranty. If you touch the side of your Technics platter it will slow down and when you let go it will speed up past the current pitch adjust for a moment and then rest at the current pitch adjustment, whereas on Vestax it doesn't go past the current pitch speed. Another good feature is the availability to choose how fast or slow the turntables pick up or stop resectively is on the Vestax, where Technics only let you use the on/off switch and start/stop button. And Vestax has a straight tone arm, limiting skating, jumping, skipping and there is no auto-return, which stops embarrasing moments of the tone arm lifting during mixes to the end of the vinyl. However Vestax have no pitch dots, which I believe not to matter as all TT's are properly calibrated during manufacture.
That is only my personal opinion and a few facts I have picked up, I would recomment Vestax also as older Technics 12xx have a click at the 0% pitch adjust.
