Hello DJTT,
I am a House/Techno DJ for two years now, started with Traktor just to get into mixing.
I got myself a new turntable for my LPs and later on added the tt to my DJ setup (Traktor Kontrol + Xone 42) for adding a little bit of vinyl into my mixes.
Now I'm considering to buy a second tt for a plain analogue vinyl only setup. But I discovered a strange problem which bothers me a lot.
My first turntable has been an Audio Technica AT-LP120 and I thought the problem is due to its lack of torque. Thus I thought I should buy a Technics (which could not be wrong!) but:
People owing a Technics have reported the same problem. I still am a bedroom DJ and an AT-LP120 is much cheaper than a decent used Technics. But that shouldn't be discussed here. Maybe I wanna get a Technics anyways.
However, certain 12" stop the platter while cueing or backcueing, but some slip like a knife through a warm block of butter.
I tried every trick I found in forums with plastic or wax paper underneath the slipmat. Even bought Dr. Suzuki's Slipmats Mix Edition, this shouldn't be the problem because some 12" work perfectly, but some don't.
I really want to solve this one because it brakes my enjoyment for spinning vinyl.
