TT200

Advantages: Good quality and features
Disadvantages: N/A

...Numark turntables were the first ones I bought many years ago when I started out and do I always have a special place in my heart for their products. When the TT200 was released I was quite impressed by the design and some of the features so decided to check them out. The TT200 looks very cool indeed. They are not shaped like other turntables; rectangular with harsh corners, this has a much more sleeker looking design with luxurious looking smooth edges and a dual coloured faceplate (silver and black). The smart design takes nothing away from the sturdiness of the turntable and I reckon that this could take quite a battering before playback became affected. The platter and the tone-arm feel strong and I would image they would stand up to a fair bit of force. When making any contact with the record being played the needle only skipped...

Review of Numark TT200

Numark TT500 all looks and power

Advantages: huge pitch range adjustable start stop
Disadvantages: ugly not the most practacal

...I had a pair of these Numark TT500 for a short while and although good they left me wondering WHY. Numark are old hands at making good quality dj turntables but i dont know what they were thinking when desiging this one. part of a dj set up is the look and 2 of these used normaly with the tone arm and pitch control on your right and a mixer in the middle looks a little silly. The tone arm design is straight which again i found very different and wierd. apart from the looks its a good turntable with all the functions you expect. the pitch control has a huge range, Variable pitch range 8/10/20/50 %. and adjustable start stop speeds. This is pitched as a high torque direct drive tturntable and yes the torque is good but i have felt better. all in all a good turntable, great if you need the extra pitch range not very good if...

Disadvantages: pitch shifter

...Direct drive motor 2 start/stop Aluminium deck Detachable connections located underneath the deck S-shaped tonearm Pitch control: +/- 10% Includes Numark Groove Tool cartridge Phono output ABS body The TT1650 is the industry standard entry level turntable.

They are probably most well known for their ability to create high quality turntable's for people on a budget, this is the category where the TT1650 falls into.

Numark PHX

Advantages: wires and ear cups can be changed and amazing quality for the price
Disadvantages: ear cups not very comfy and crackles when very loud

...The Numark PHX headphones are ideal for anybody wishing to have high quality headphones without paying a price too high. From my own experience I have found these headphones to be ideal for DJ'ing. For the price they are sold it, the quality of the headphones is very high. A good feature for the Numark headphones is the wires and ear cups, which can be changed. This comes in useful for different situations. The only downside of these headphones is the small crackle when they are pushed to the very top of the sound level. However this is only a downside for those people who have the headphones unbelievably loud. Another accessory included in the headphones box is the carry case to move the headphones around. The only thing I could think of for improvement of these headphones is for the ear cups to be a bit more of a comfy fit to the head...

Philips TT 2021 Bodygroom For The Perfect Shave

Advantages: Close, comfortable and convinient
Disadvantages: Packaging not great

...My husband is very fussy when it comes to shaving and he likes to have his own razor that I don't use. He used to spend a lot of money on purchasing the Gillette Fusion Power 4 pack priced at 7.99GBP. After finding out that I was using his razor he decided to buy the Rechargeable body shave system Phillips TT2021 this is not to be confused with the Phillips TT2020 which is similar, but not the one I am reviewing. So my husband decided to buy this razor because he knew that I wouldn't use it because I cannot use electric razor's like this they make me come out in a rash and do not work on my skin. I asked my husband to review this razor and to give me his opinions of how effective the razor is. The following is the review that I have rewritten in my own words for the purposes of Ciao. This razor is exclusively for men...

Numark Axis 9 The best value cd deck for rookies and bedroom Djs

Advantages: Consistent, All main effects (scratch + key lock that WORKS)
Disadvantages: No built in memory

...I dj 2-3 times a week and often take my equipment in and out of venues so I need equipment that is durable and reliable. Ive had a pair of axis 9's for a few years now. They have turned out to be quite reliable and consistent where more expensive models weren't .. very important if you dj'ing at a gig. If you are a laptop Dj the Axis 9's works fine with all the major software, VDJ, Rockit, Traktor etc. There are some new features on the axis 9's along with all the standard feature on the axis series. Pitch-lock (called key-lock on numarks) is one of the most useful features I use and in my opinion axis 9's do this much better than others in a similar price range like 1200DZ or CDJ 200. They have very decent effects that are really easy to use, most notably, the scratch function which is a direct improvement from previous models like...

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 scratch just like on a real turntable with added features to only play a part of the scratch, the forward or backward part. The unit also comes complete with effects built in. the effects range from filter to sonar and are controled with a jog wheel for smooth effect ranges. you can chop, slide, ptich bend, filter and sonar (like phazer)and even play the cd backwards with one touch...

Breville TT68c

Advantages: No need to stand and watch, will eject when ready
Disadvantages: None as yet

...I have just bought this toaster a week ago because my old one burnt out. Although the cost was £41:99p I wanted one that pushed the look of a quality build onto me. Others just seemed to reflect light. When you look at this Breville TT68 you emmediatly see the build quality is there. Before its pluged in you will see that the sides are covered with a clear plastic that is actually Pollycarbonate stuff. normally the silver sides collect finger prints and it looks dirty even after one use. This is easy to wash therefore looks clean all the time. When you start to use it, you will find the slots are extra long for that bread that wont fit a lot of other toasters. At the bottom there is a crumb tray which is a must. There is also a cancel button if you decide to cut the toasting lenth down sharply. The thing I like is the blue LED lights...

Review of Breville TT68

Beginner's best choice

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Bad motor

...These were my first turntables I bought for myself, but I made this decision after having studied the competition quite a lot. I've played on lots of other decks of approximately same level and none could compare with Numark TT1650. The mixer I used was Numark 1050, which is of the same price level and a perfect match for the these decks. At first they catch your eye with their style. It is pretty futuristic with all of it's elements being very smooth. Another good thing is the configuration of controls, which is very comfortable. Visually, this turntable looks prety well, especially with the mixer I mentioned above. Technically, the same motor as in "senior brother" TT1625 is used here. It is a direct drive, which is pretty a rare thing among the turntables of the same price level. Torque is quite okay (1.0 kgf/cm) and no...

Review of Numark TT1650 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 have owned a pair of these decks for around a year and 6 months, 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 slowly from time to time. This is easily fixed when I turn off the deck and switch it back on again. To summarise: Great deck for intermediate and beginers alike but they look tacky and new decks are needed after around 2 years as they deteriorate and become limiting....
