numark vs. stanton

Postby nuclear blonde on Sat Mar 08, 2008 7:19 pm

honestly,the tt500 is good, but for versatility and sound quality both analog and digital. it's worth spending $350 to get the numark ttx fusion. the ttx fusion's torque blows stanton's out of the water.dj's can set up the pitch control and readout either battle style or traditional. and there's s-shaped and straight tonearms included. the straight tonearm attachment has far better sound quality(no howling like technics s-shaped tonearm.)and the aluminum tonearms are lighter than the stanton's, putting far less wear and tear on the vinyl and numark worked out the weird little glitch that it's predecessor, the ttx1 had with the turntable tripping out and going into protection mode if the platter's drive magnets get out of alignment. also, the brakes are able to stop and start on a dime...and the reverse button follows suit. the only issue is that there's no usb port, although it does have sp/idf input. can be run as analog or digital just flip the switch to the correct setting! very durable and no vibration issues whatsoever. it's nearly as great as the higher end vestax decks, but a far better value. :idea:
can you dance to it and can you f%ck to it? if the answer to either is no, get the hell off my dancefloor.

the numark 1625 direct drive for budget and beginner djs... nothing else. straight tone arms are in the past... and suck.
both models you have in the poll suck and i wound not recommend either. not even to someone i hated.
Gear:
Technics 1210 M5G
Pioneer Djm 800
M Audio BX5A
Reason 4.0
Abelton 8.0
Sony Acid Pro 7.0

Wishlist:
Pair of BX8a monotors, studio desk, custom DAW, HQ (HD) recorder, HQ A/D converter, Pair of Korg Electribe drum machines, Then after i learn how to use all that, IDK, maybe some real analog synths, poly synths, mono synths, and a bunch of stuff I can barley afford.
