anyone know anything about these? are they crap? I would be
buying one for just listening to LP's. Would it be a bargain
if I paid 65€ for one?

if you only want to listen you should get more specified
hifi tables...

there have been quite a few threads like this lately.. is
it because of analord?

do you have any recomendations? I've been thinking of a
Pro-Ject 1.2 or a Debut turntable? they seem good quality
and quite stylish?

I have two recommendations I give by default.

Rega. Listened to different rega tables up through
the ages and they sound amazing!

and clearaudio which only is an option if you have a
bit of money to spend...

but be warned: if you think you'll ever want to scratch or
mix or whatever, you shouldn't get these.

hmm.. I'm not sure... just search finnish webshops or
something or go to a hifi store and check them out... You
should probably go to a store and listen to a few different
tables to decide for yourself if the difference between
[turntable1] and [turntable2] is enough for you to save up
more money.. different turntables also have different
characteristics, which you'll have to decide on your own if
you like [1] or [2].

has, maybe ill go for the pro-jekt with the fun colors

yeah, it seems like a reasonable price...

(but go to the store and listen, and if they have the
clearaudio master solution set up, ask if you can listen to
it.. I've never had the pleasure of listening to any of
clearaudios higher priced turntables as they take a few
hours to set up, but even the "cheaper" ones sound fucking
amazing!)

make all the differences or your own or their amp and
speakers
ill bring my analord in good faith though

I'll quess that I'll save for something proper, but I think
I may want to fuck with the records in the future, so I may
buy a stanton or something.

it depends what you want to do with em...

i mean beatmatching is kinda impossible with them - but you
can get used to it...

it is not possible to match beats of two songs for a longer
time on them due the lack of quartz steering or anything
else...

scratching is impossible too because the table is plasitc...
you shouldn't even touch it really...

why not investing for some stanton straghts ? or reloops
3000 ?

i mean of course - you can buy the for home use - but after
2 months you will want to change them.

i f you don't - and you get to a club where there a re
technics 1200 mk2 decks there then sayonara... (believe me
:D)
