This may be a controversial statement, but I cannot fathom the point of using Turntables for DVS control if you just mix tracks.
Turntablists I understand, but for just mixing house for example? WHY?
Just as a means of mixing tracks with all the feel of turntables/vinyl with the added benefit of an entire digital music library. I love using turntables for mixing but also love having access to a vast music collection. That is about it really. I use it for mixing house, trance, hardcore etc.
I think you are looking at it from a functionality point of view- and in that regard you are quite right (I use a CDJ + Traktor setup for mobile gigs these days).
But for enjoyment’s sake, I prefer a turntable setup all day long- whether it’s real vinyl or DVS. And for what it’s worth I own 5 turntables, a couple of bookcases of vinyl, and have barely so much as attempted a scratch in 12 years! 
I couldn’t agree more. I DJ for the enjoymant factor and had turntables and vinyl when I first started in 1997. I would have no need for DVS if I could get all the tracks I wanted on vinyl but because I can’t I use DVS to ‘fill the gap’. I swop between real vinyl and DVS ‘track to track’ so having that same ‘feel’ makes it enjoyable for me. I have tinkered with scratching over the years but really just to see if I could, not as a performance tool.
I guess I also have a romantic affection for vinyl so I like to keep that alive. I DJ just for fun and my own enjoyment these days. That also means that my SL1210s are perfect for me; not only are they superb and still going strong it fits in with the romantic enjoyment I have for vinyl. I have no need to chase the ‘latest bit of gear’ and I imagine the PLX-1000s will not be worth much in 20 years time as they do not have that kudos factor but time will tell if they are reliable or not. If my SL1210s died what would I do? Well I have 2x SL1200s in my garage as spares just in case but if I didn’t I would probably look at getting some good secong hand ones. If I were to go down the OEM route are the PLX-1000s worth the extra money over the others, I doubt it but it depends if you want a Pioneer label on your gear I suppose!!
and
are very acceptable answers 
I work with a lot of the big names week in week out, and sometimes I forget about the guys just mixing with passion, for fun.
What I don’t really understand are the ‘big name’ touring artists who insist on a vinyl setup and then plug in Traktor, hit the Sync button, and leave the decks with the quartz lock on for the whole set. I could name names, but I won’t.
Picked up one in perfect working condition with some small scratches with a flight case & ortifon cartridge for $350. There’s deals out there, just gotta be patient.
Not in Miami there aren’t lol.
You’d be surprised how many bars and clubs have an old pair or two sitting in their basements. They don’t even know what they have sitting there.
There’s actually a pretty big vinyl revival down here. I see a lot of parties lately that say “exclusive vinyl only sets.” 
I do and only mix tracks. mixing house is easy/boring enough without the aid of a controller or cdjs.. vinyl is simply just more fun to mix on, people who use vinyl and press sync need shooting, just being trend whores.
Right, It’s everywhere.
My friend went into the basement of an old tavern thats shifted towards a biker crowd and found 4x 1200s that they sold him for like 200 bucks. What I’m saying is that there are tons of oldies who have them and don’t even realize their worth.
Because it just feels SO much better than pressing buttons, the vibrations of the slipmat underneath the vinyl, your fingertips twitching for your release, needing to ride the track into the mix oh so seamlessly … some people wont get it.
Its the same difference between playing a keyboard and programming synth notes on a screen, the end result is the same, one just feels better than the other.
To the OP:
IMO this is one of the best reviews I’ve seen. Not just on the PLX-1000 TT, but on anything. I will definitely be watching for more of your reviews. You gave some helpful tips that I was not aware of as well as a good comparison of the two TTs. The audio was clear and you did a great job explaining what you were doing. And the Dubai scenery was nice to see.
Seriously, this review saved me some money! I saw these PLX-1000 for the first time at NAMM and from looks and feel thought these could be a good replacement for my 1200s. Thanks for proving my a fool. Keep up the good work.
Hardware Review
=> Hardware forum
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. Next videos I’m planning are a detailed look at Traktor, and a tutorial on cables, including how to make your own pro quality cables.
Do a teardown on Reloop & Stanton tables. 
I am aiming to focus my YT channel on high end/ pro gear.
Doubt I would ever see any Reloop gear come through my hands, I’ve never, ever seen anything reloop at a gig in 20+ years. If they sent me one for review, I’d do it - but I think we agree chances of that are very slim as I’m going to call it how I see it.
Stantons are a possibility.
Soooo… you don’t consider Reloop RP-7000 & RP-8000 turntables pro gear? 
I’m not commenting on the quality at all. Just that I’ve never personally seen them used in a professional situation, or never seen them specified in a Pro DJ’s rider
Just the other day, DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist did a show in my town. They brought with them 6 Pioneer PLX-1000 and their own table. Feedback all over the place. Make your own conclusion.
Hahaha. Yes, well that’s another story
