Numark TTX1 Turntable

Pros: Value and feature packed, direct drive, excellent professional quality sound reproduction, heavy [sturdy].
Cons: Brake mechanism unrefined, flimsy tonearm pickup, possible motor reliability issues.

The Numark TTX1 Turntable was not what I set out to purchase when I went looking for records and or a turntable.  Having had great luck with the Panasonic [Technics] brand, I was hoping to get one of these babies, even an older used one, as I've ...

Pros: It's a serious step in turntable evolution and might well become the new industry standard.
Cons: You'll miss it's features when you'll have to make do with SL1200 decks...

I went out to buy a set of Technics SL1200 decks, the current industry standard. In that process, I came across the TTX1 and have chosen to buy them instead. What won me over, was my hands on test with a beat and bassline tune on the one deck and a...

Pros: Stetically beautiful
Cons: Lack of real spec's

1.-I just get a ttx1 turntable ($345) and a Cs1 Numark cartridge that needs 3 grams minimum to perform, but I don’t know: A).-Tractability of the tone arm: I mean, what is the range in which it can handle a cartridge and trace and reproduce accurately ...

Pros: these are outstanding tables if they work properly and don't need repair.
Cons: If they fail and you have to contact numark, they are no help!

I love my ttx1's. All those added benefits are awesome and they really work. They are great and have been for just over two years. Now i have a problem that i'm concerned with! My table just stops mid play. no reason. just stops. I can get it to stop with some vibration now but it sucks during a gig to hear it winding down or recording. Im pi**ed at the way numark has handled this and the company they refered me to to get them fixed seems like a scammish shop. I could get into this more because i am an electrician and know a thing or two they tried to dumb-f#%k me. Im very frustrated at their pricing to fix and it sounds like i'll either be buying a new one or dropping numark all together and goin back to technic. I could go on and on but just wanted the world to know my plight and pleasures.

Pros: Interchangeable tone arms, battle style or club display, adjustable start/brake high torque DD motor,Key Correction
Cons: The Key Correction is only average on songs with live drummers.

You will have a hard time finding a turntable with the features, tracking and versatility as the TTX. I haven't used my 1200's in almost 3 years. They out perform every other table out here. If you've ever had to replace a rca cable or tone arm on 1200's you can really appreciate this turntable as well. The pitch /- 8,10,20, and 50% is sickening. Not to mention the adjustable brake and start...(with out going inside the deck)One Serious Turntable...
