Anyone got these or have experience of them. I'm reading good reviews of them so far but I'd like hear from anyone has them. I need new decks!
Scraaaaatch!

one of my friends has two of these.. he's very satisfied, but I'm sceptical due to the pitch-lock.. it means that the signal is being digitalized before it goes out, and sort of takes away the meaning of vinyl.
if you're doing tricks, they're probably great, due to the +/- 50% pitch, though...

The pitch lock only works on the digital output. On phono (which I'll be using) it won't work. What did you think of the start up speed?

ah, that makes it a whole lot better.. he used the digital one, and I just assumed that was the only one...
start up speed was ok.. I think this has a higher torque/engine power than the techs, but somehow I got a feeling it's weaker.. that's probably just me, though.

If you get to a demo room before me let me know mate. They sound good and I've heard good things.
Although someonehere mentions "there are well documented issues with ttx without actually saying anything useful.

well, I can tell you that my mate has never had a problem, and I think he's had them for two years and didn't even oil them yet or something...

Exactly, I think it's probably a case of trying to look knowledgeable but knowing fuck all. I'll google up some info.
Oh yes, I need to get these soon because as of tomorrow I'll have no decks.
I borrowed my mates decks as mine were being hella gay. I threw them away and now I'm moving so have to give my mates decks back. I'll have a shitload of vinyl and nothing to play it on for a while. I'm actually quite depressed about this.

haha! I think you should take it as evidence that that is the only bad review of them... more good reviews.. you probably saw these already, though, but.. RUSS!!!
(I still grealy enjoy the 1210s, btw, and will stick to them)

nah I wouldn't go with numarks at all. they may look good on paper, and get a good write up, but how many pro's use them? none, except the one or two on the numark payroll.
My top choices: Vestax PDX2000, the originals are still quality and much cheaper than they used to be
Tech 1210s, tried and tested, if a little long in the tooth
Stanton Str8150, only bad point is the new stanton logo looks a bit ghey, otherwise fantastic
or for audiophillia: rega planars. 'cos they are so highly recommended by lots of people and generally don't have a bad word said about them, except the price maybe.
i'm thinking of upgrading my alright stantons to a pair of STR8150s or maybe that new(ish) vestax one.
In conclusion, numark suck, the ttx1 is ok, but not as great as they would like you to think, and also the buttons and styling is awful.

yes they are. he will tell you how good they are, and he will be 99% correct. they feel perhaps slightly too plasticy for me, and are a bit to rounded.
I want a big heavy tungston plated square deck, not some plastic light easy to carry structually inferior deck.
The first time i used a pdx2000, my jaw dropped when i pressed the start/stop and it was at full speed quicker than i could beleive.
Goto a shop and have a play, all the ones I mentioned are great, but 1210s are showing their age, but are generally bomb proof.
