Geoff Whitfield Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Seems like a great price , i am tempted myself, just a couple of questions, will stylus be included? and i assume it will be belt driven? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
21 Again Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Wife bought me similar product off amazon Newmark dj in a box for £105. Looks exact same only difference the mixer is black. Everthings included bargain at £65 quid, great for the weekend if your not goin out just stick an amp and speekers in get the records boxes out and off you go. Best xmas present ive had in years.

Stylus included, they are belt driven, but that is to be expected I suppose. I think I'm correct in saying that Technics Direct Drive SL 1210 turntables go from Zero to 45rpm in half a revolution, as do most other DD turntables I guess. When it comes to belt driven turntables, I assume that it takes a little longer. Of course, the Technics, being in a different league in build quality, will also sound far superior - but for £65, I'm happy to let my kids play around with them, though not in conjunction with my Northern Soul records...

Thanks for the answer, any idea how quickly the belt driven ones take to get to coorcet speed, by the way I have just ordered one, disco coming to a front room near you very soon Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest miff Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi if they are belt drive why have they got a pitch control ??????? They are belt driven, and the pitch control has nothing to do with weather the deck is belt driven or direct drive the speed is controled by the DC motor, the pitch control is just a variable resister, used to control the the voltage level to the motor thus rasing or lowering the speed of the motor and drive to the turntable Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
