Hey there,
I'm looking at buying some turntables and i've been lurking ebay for a while now.
Now the standard price for a pair of technics here is 250 (if ure lucky) to 350 euro's a piece, which is fairly expensive i think. I'm afraid that when i buy these there'll be problems with either the pitch control or the tone-arm. They all say "its in mint state, never been outside the house" blabla, i don't believe half of it but ok. Thing is I dont own a car and i live in the far south of my country, and 90% of the advertisements come from around north, which is about a 2/3 hour drive, so going for a quick look isn't an option.
Now a friend of mine told me about the Reloop RP4000 m3d's being a good alternative to the Technics. While looking at the prices they go for about 100/150 euro's each here, which is more than half the price. I'm a student, y'know Ofcourse the thing with technics is that theyll keep their value.
The only thing that i didn't like is the fact they have a 10% pitch control. The club standard here are Technics (like everywhere ) and i'm afraid that switching from 10% to 8% is big of a change... But I don't have a clue if it actually is!
Should i see the 10% like they added 1% to the top and 1% to the bottom? They just "lengthened" the physical pitch if you understand what i'm saying?
If i can mix perfectly on the 10% pitch after a while, will i just step into the club and use the technics and their 8% like i use my Reloop's 10% at home? Is it really a big difference?
What are your thoughts on the RP4000 m3d's? Do you recommend them? I'm only going to use them for mixing, i'm NOT a scratcher and never will be.
Money wise, will this be an option I should look at?
Hoping to get some answers
Cheers,
Bob
