Hello all,
I was talking to C64 yesterday and he persuaded me to sell my Stanton's for some Technics as it is most likely what I will use if I ever play out. I knew this already, but chose to go with the Stanton's as I find they are much tighter in feel and the torque is amazing. Although I feel I could play out, it's definitely not on my priority list as of now, but C64 brought up a good point: "I don't know what I will want to do in the future".
Now my mission is to find some 1200's, but after playing on ESBs setup, I wouldn't want something with that kind of feeling. Platter had very little torque and the pitch was sloppy. However, his tables are 10 years old, and it took me a few mixes to get used to, but after that it wasn't bad. I just would have to get used to it I suppose.
So I'm debating between 3 options.
A. Keep my setup and learn on someone else's Technics
B. Sell my whole setup and buy some used Technics which may or may not be up to scratch
C. Sell my whole setup and buy some new Technics
I found this on a local website and he was selling this setup for 3200$. I offered 2500$ so we will see what he says:
Technics SL1210 MK5 (2X), Rane TTM 56S, Serato Scratch Live 1
I'm trying to sell my setup for about 2000$, and I can't really afford 1200$ over that.
Opinions?
