Hmm, I see. Unfortunately in a DJ turntable, you can't really do without a direct drive, because you need the torque. Only the cheaper (beginner) turntables have Belt drives these days, although I know thats only the case with DJ turntables and not fancy ones like yours.
Unfortunately belt drives are way too sluggish for mixing.... so I guess the "buzz" has to stay...
I'd be quite keen to hear the quality of one of these monster turntables though.... must be something pretty special..
Technic's 1200 ?
Where we used to shop in Durbs for DJ equipment at a certain shop one of the 2 owners was a DJ and the other a music affinando (sp ?) and we used to listen to both of their set-ups... The quality of the string weighted turntable was superb but what DJ can wait for the table to pick up speed and then a few seconds more for the stylus to hit the vinyl ? And with the stylus being so light on the record there is no way one can 'scratch'.... And mind you, it wasn't double edged either :p
I now own the 1200's kleinboet the 'BD22D' which is perfect for me, good quality for the price and a relatively nice speed up time for when I am converting my vinyl to cd
One day when I grow up I'll buy a proper turntable
BTW did you know that a turntable is able to replay frequencies up to 25 kHz and a good amp is able to amplify frequencies that high ? Most often that is the reason why vinyl 'feels' better than CD's as even though you cannot hear these frequencies you can feel them...
