DJ Decks

numark tt500

Advantages: super high torque
Disadvantages: none

had a pair of these now for about 4/5 years and they r still going strong. they are a very sturdy and powerful turntable (i think the torque is somewhere around 5-6kgs) which i think is either two or three times that of the technics turntables, which makes it a lot easier when mixing your next record. i also like the fact that you can change the tone arm from the original s shaped arm to the straight arm which is great for scratching, there is also ...

Review of Numark TT500 Turntable

Great decks, has served its purpose well!

Advantages: Direct drive, cheap, fun, good for all levels of ability.
Disadvantages: New slipmats a must, New needles a must, deteriorate after extensive use.

...I owned a pair of numark 1520s before my 1650s and was very satisfied with them. Many people find the 1650s difficult to keep pitch in long mixes, although i have never had a problem until now. My mixes generally last anywhere between 1 and 3 mins. The only reason I am having problems now is because the decks are getting old as i bought them second hand. One of the turntables' motor has gone, it no longer keeps pitch and it also starts up really ...

Review of Numark TT1650 Turntable

If you DJ then you need these!

Advantages: Build quality, features, massive torque, looks
Disadvantages: Erm, dim target light

...decks from a pair of Numark TT1650s....and wow what a decision!! The first thing that hits you about these decks is their weight - they are heavy beasts. This certainally makes them feels the part. It might make moving them around a little more difficult, but its a small price to pay. The weight helps to keep them really stable a gives your vinyl a secure base to play on. The weight is mainly due to two reasons, firstly the steel casing which makes ...
...the highest torque I've come across. The higher the torque (for those of you that don't know) the higher the force needed to stop the platter (the circular base you put the vinyl on) from turning. This is important when mixing since you are always touching the record, and don't want the base below to stop turning each time you do. This is probably the best feature with the decks, and may take some getting used to if, like me, you are used to a pair ...

Review of Numark VJ01 DVD/CD/MP3 Player

Numark CDX

Advantages: Turntable style CD player better than a turntable
Disadvantages: reliability

The Numark CDX is one of the best profesional CD players on the market. their reliability raise some questions but as an over all there great. its the closest you can get to a vinyl turntable the CD player works and looks just like the numark TT direct drive turntable, with 2 start stop buttons and start up speed and break controls and programable pitch controls so you can set it up to feel like almost any turntable you have used before. you can ...
...or darkest of conditions Numark are consantly updating the firmware for the CDX and have made it very easy for the home user to do this with a download available from their website. you burn it to cd pop it in the drive job done. there are some known issuses with the early cdx. CDs ejecting randomly or not playing, there is an easy fix for the DIYer but numark should have address this now. dont buy second hand unless the seller is a good friend ...
