    Time for a upgrade on the wheels of steel..what would you get ?

    The story ain't finished...I sent the reloops back...the consistent torque was just way too low on 33 for me....to put it in context I was like a belt drive. I personally think that they are only good for scratching . So I'll start again 1210mk2 Pioneer plx-1000 Denon vl12 Definitely not...

    Time for a upgrade on the wheels of steel..what would you get ?

    I've never understood the difference between the anologe and digital pitch...except the digital ones have the lock button that puts it back to 0 and it doesn't click in the middle....maybe they got better now...tbh the pitch on my stanton t80s were great. Being old skool my mixes ain't drawn...
