great all around mixer just like a pioneer excecpt for there are no effect and the hefty tag price .i use this for all my gigs on the road cuz its easy for sound enginers too hook up at gigs. every output too adapt to every

Not the best fader in the world but for the price its well worth it. A pioneer djm900's fader is more looser but then again thats an $1000 mixer with effects and all that good stuff. Same with the rane mixers, but their magnetic faders are great.

Yes, although for a few more dollars you could buy an Audio-Technica cartridge with an elliptical stylus, instead of this conical stylus, which would make your records sound much better and last longer. This cartridge is very light, it may be better to buy a cartridge that is a bit heavier, for better tracking. Good luck.

Yes you can. In fact, that's the reason I bought these. I DJ with these and no computer at all. With them I can scratch, blend, loop, and reverse.

i have to agree with bruce ditto and find out how old the turntable is maybe get a newer one from amazon get the one thats direct drive because belt driven tends to break down the road and the belts can be hard to come by unless you order some ahead good luck and get yourself an eq with that hk youll discover whole new sound

it depends on the turntable, but my guess is that for 20 bucks and amazon's no questions asked returns with no shipping costs, it's prolly worth the try since it amplifies everything i have.

Dear Mr. Lee:I decided to go up a notch to a Technic 1200 turntable.What are these other items; are they replacement items I can buy later? What function do they do?Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge Also, a friend gave me a pair of bose $300 speakers for my PC. I think I want to pair this Technic turnable with a bigger Bose system, suggestion here?

I used the Audio Technica on my 40 year old Dual turntable and it works well. I had some difficulty attaching the wires from my Dual tonearm to the universal cartridge adapter as the pins on the adapter were a little bit large, but I finally got them attached. The sound from the AT cartridge is excellent.

yes that's what I use. I'll be honest it took me almost a month to figure out. but once I did I love the software. Don't expect it to cut the tracks in the right spot. I always erase their tracks and put them back in the right spot. I do that by finding track listings on wiki, iTunes, amazon, or a site called discogs and write down the track times. It takes a little work. but I haven't found a software yet that cuts the tracks right automatically granted Ive only tried a few. So if you go for it be patient. I don't ever tinker with any of the effects so not sure how good they are. Like echo and crap like that. I just go for a good clean transfer. It does work good for that. In my opion. I did however buy an old turntable for just listening. One with pitch control and the adjustable counterweight and all that kind of fancy stuff. How bout that for an answer. Peace. Hit me up if you got mo questions. I don't mind talkin about records and record players.

I'm using Shure's M44-7 I play vinyl records and control vinyl with Traktor Scratch. I heard good reports from people who use the Shure Whitelabel. Shure WHLB Whitelabel DJ Turntable Cartridge If you're not familiar with cartridge setup stay with the all in one units, such as the Ortofon Concords, Shure WHTLB or any pre mounted phono cartridge, it makes setup easier.

This unit has played 33s better than a more expensive turntable. I got it to play my 78s and they sound as good as a 70-80 year old records can sound. You do not have to change the stylus to play 78s. I am real pleased with it and have hooked it to my mac to record record albums than I can not get the CDs.

AFelectrngineer already answered your question, but I was also going to recommend the ART USB Phono Plus. Even though you stated that you don't need the USB capability, the USB Phono Plus would probably be your best bet if you want to be able to plug in a set of headphones without having to do some electronic modifications to the unit. And if you do decide to use the USB capability, it'll probably sound better than your turntable's built-in preamp.

Looks like it needs Windows. See http://www.crutchfield.com/S-L7jBjg1mI7r/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?search=turntables&i;=057ATLP2DA, which gives more specifications than amazon does. The Audio-Technica AT-LP2D-USB is Mac-compatible--and also twice the price. So what else is new?

sure...usually only use 2 channel mixers for scratching but this will do the trick...I like the mixer but only complaint is the small cue buttons...

Haven't played 45's, only 33.3's. As Kerry said, you can lift out the little center cork disc, but try leaving it in place, too. You may not notice any difference.I'd tried different kinds of feet for my turntable to kill muddiness and resonance and at high volume I heard turntable rumble. This mat solved all 3 issues for me. Sometimes the low-tech solutions are the most effective.

I just put a Grado Prestige Green1 cartridge on this, and it's way clearer than the AT95E, particularly when the mix of tonalities is dense. The AT cart by comparison reduces complex passages to mush. It's reasonably good on simpler, quieter stuff though. Maybe the AT cart I got was a lemon though; they used to be an excellent brand when I was a kid. The turntable itself is decent.

Here is an excellent article to help identify what you have and outline what you need: http://turntablelab.com/pages/beginners-guide-to-turntables (What you're asking is covered in the section "2.1 Simplified Turntable Setup with Active Speakers")

You'd be better off purchasing just the turntable bearings, or lazy susan bearings!! They're much cheaper than buying this Lazy Susan (which works great, by the way) and taking it apart!! :)
