My Reloop RP7000 DVS Turntable Setup
I just finished my first DVS setup and I want to show you guys it.
I am only 16 years old and have been DJ’ing for almost a year. I also have a Pioneer DDJ-SR, but its irrelevant now.
My equipment:
-Reloop RP-7000
-Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL Z2
-Reloop Concord Blue
-Samsung Laptop (replacing with mac soon)
Nice!
Look after it and enjoy!!
how are you liking the rp-7000?
Thanks 
The Rp7000 are great. They feel really solid and I don’t think they will break easily. They feel just like Technics (build quality and feeling)
They are pretty much a better version of the Technics.
So far I love them 
Looks good! Great tables those 7000 & 8000’s.
“Irrelevant” DDJ-SR? Feel free to send it to me ;p.
Really nice setup!
I obviously need them (great for playing on parties etc) but not relevant for the setup I am showing off here 
Thanks 
That’s a perfect setup right there. I’d definitely recommend that setup as the best bang for a buck premium setup for Traktor DVS-use. It’s either that or with Serato and Rane 62, but that’s ridicilously expensive for a young DJ.
For straight DVS use, the RP7000’s are better than Technics in my opinion. I’ve DJ’ing and serviced Technics tables for over 10 years, so I know a little about decks.
Yeah totally agree! The RP7000 are pretty much the same as Technics just new and a stronger motor and more functions.
Also the Z2 mixer have everything you need for a DVS setup and does the job just as good as the Rane mixers (for turntableism) and the best thing it cost waaay less than a serato setup with the same functionality
Awsome set, wrong assessment…
The RP-7000 is a good turntable but the OEM turbo-torque will school you with a heavy handed technique…
And technically the Sl’s trumps all HanPin made TT’s, so it’s not a better version.
On a side-note…placing (tapping) midi-buttons on a (soundwise) fragile device like a TT ? (less from ideal IMHO)

These statements sound like they’ve been made by someone with HEAVY hands…
Don’t get it Patch, please explain ?
Good hand technique means that you don’t have to worry about torque, or bashing buttons on a TT chassis.
Hmm..it’s normal you adapt to your home rig (espec with scratching), most would agree that the powerhouse torque from the OEM’s have the tendency to develop heavy hands. That’s why it’s (IMHO)more easy to switch from SL to OEM then the other way.
Buttons make mechanical noise…and the TT’s case magnifies this. Just for fun, tap with your finger on you SL’s when playing audio…you would see that it doesn’t need much to hear the tapping. And remember, the SL has the best damping of current TT’s (PLX not taken in account, haven’t seen the inside yet).
No flame intended and no technics fanboy either but the facts are what they are…
What you;re saying makes sense. And anyone with no experience of scratching or button mashing would take it as good advice.
But the truth is - witha little experienec and practice, both of the “problems” you’ve mentioned can easily be adjusted for.
This is quite true. i remember when I went from SL’2 to a PDX2000. I could not believe how heavy handed I could be without any skipping!
It’s the reason it;'s good to learn on cheaper tables than Technics - you develop a super smooth technique on cheaper tables, that translates really wel when you do buy Tech’s.

Sick man, but get some colour on those decks with this!!! http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/traktor/dj-accessories/bags-cases-and-control-media/control-media/pricing-mk2-vinyl-colored/
Irrelevant. Black is beautiful and that’s how 99% of my (real) records are.
Patch and Johnny Drama are true about most Super OEM’s aren’t damped as much as Technics SL-series. Well there’s gotta be a reason why Stanton ST(R)150’s weight a ton. Though I don’t have enough experience on them with real vinyl. I know for sure that KAM DDX5000’s aren’t well damped.
But imo: Super OEM > Technics with DVS.
Technics is better sounding (damped) with real vinyl though.
And then you have another option, the PLX-1000. Sounds much better then a Technics and has a higher torque and the demping on those tables is very good too.
But the Reloops are just great DVS tables. I love them within DVS setup. For normal vinyl i prefer Technics and the Pioneer PLX-1000’s.
Please let me know more. How how have you compared the sound?
Torque is way better, but there’s also 10x more wow&flutter.
