getting back into it- wanna teach son

You can use any turntable with timecode. all it needs to do is pick up the tone on the record. More importantly is having an audio interface with enough inputs and outputs, preferably with a preamp for the phono level signal from the turntables. If the NS7 II or SX2 support Serato DJ DVS, it should be fine.

From what you've said, I agree that getting the NS7 would be better for you. You might not even need turntables! It's a nice bit of kit.

thanks- thats cool- i just got another pdx and waiting for it to be shipped in, but i guess the biggest question which you may know off the cuff....is that can the ns7ii be used as a standalone mixer?? so i could hook up the two TT's in conjunction with the platters on ns7??

i have looked around on google (of course) but not seeing any one that like specilizes in pdx repairs/restorations...

is there perhaps a resident technicaian here or someone that i could be referred to thru here or know of someone??

i feel that the local guy i brought the tt to is whacked - i finally found an image on line that indicated (to me at least) that the tone arm on the pdx2000 doesnt reach the spindle when brought to the center. should it?? idk, but like to find someone that is knowledgeable/savvy about fixing it for me.

pls thx

Might help if you post a picture or video.

If you scroll back to the top, click on the DOWN arrow next to Thread Tools. The Subscribe to Thread option is the last one in the column. Hope that helps.

Good luck getting a deck back to par. I've never had a whole lot of luck with it. As far as what you are doing with your son, My son mashes about with me. He enjoys just hitting the buttons and making a song. I'll be perfectly honest - I'd rather he learned an instrument of some sort first. DJ'ing is fun and an artform in it's own right, but is it nearly as creative? Let him come to DJing after he has a bit of musical background and he'll probably pick the DJing up so fast.

Just my idea. As a guy that picked up DJing after my friends did, but I had a much more solid background musically through Choirs, band (quads) and jazz band with guitar (all HS) I think it gave me alot of advantages with the technical side of things.

Good luck to you sir.

yeah cool and thank you - thats cool to share that...

he actually plays clarinet in school for last 3 years and piano since he was a real little boy- wife is Chinese so ever since he could sit up she had him at piano; and he likes it too- he is chess champ of state of vt, and really smart and stuff... so given all that- i mean its kinda funny bc it is a standing joke that i got the gear for him... well me really to just have fun, but we have drum machine and key board all tied into the system and im trying to get him to create and stuff too.- so yeah i hear ya- he is still taking the private piano lessons and doing the clarinet in school- but he has shown some interest in learning the NS7iii ...

i found a guy/shop in boston that said they can do the vestax repairs and get them up to snuff. Audio labs in cambridge...and they spoke with confidence and thought itd be around 75$/tt. imma give them a shot- id love to get the dvs stuff gong as well.

cheerio- thanks again man.
