What we liked
- + High-torque direct drive gives the instant, stable start-up that club and turntablist use calls for
- + Heavy, high-rigidity chassis is described as resisting vibration and standing up to years of hard use
- + Multi-pitch control with a reset button, and it works with timecode vinyl for DVS software
Trade-offs
- - Premium price puts it far above entry-level direct-drive decks, hard to justify for casual mixing
- - No USB output or built-in phono preamp is mentioned, so plan on a mixer or phono stage
