Review
Having been around Technic 1200’s for a lot of years, I was not sure how the Numark TTX turntable would compare. Simply put, it's better. Now I'm sure that after 30 years someone can make a better DJ turntable. The thing is, people just accept the 1200's as the pinnacle of DJ turntables. At one time Cerwin Vega was the best sound, period. The Metron 1500 watt amps could not be beat. Today they are very average! Same as 1200's! Yes they are built well, and are very reliable, but an 8% pitch just isn’t enough. When they came out there was no scratching or DJ battles. Just simple beat mixing. Nobody used a beat counter, you used your ears. Today on the TTX you have a 50% pitch variance, a beat counter and keylock. Keylock electronically eliminates the voices sounding like chipmunks at higher speeds. It locks the tone no matter how fast you spin the record. Simply put - incredible! And yes the platter starts and stops faster than the 1200's. Plus, has more torque. After 30 or so years the 1200's are now simply good. They are no longer the best.
