Numark's just arnt build the way they should be. with most their gear being made in the US, some of it shud be solid. My mixer was made in the states and one fader has already died after 6 months. technics are made in japan with the word "Quality" behind it. anything made in japan id trust. my denon dn-s1000 cd players are made in japan and ive had them for a yr almost and they seem to be alright… however i wanna get a pair of cdj1000's one day…

I was on the decks lastnight at a party and the handle thingy for my concord broke off WTF?? How the hell can that just break off 
For a good hour and a half i was having to put the needle on the record by the arm or the groove on the concord itself and while drunk thats not easy at all.

I'm actually getting the 400 next week, i like the idea of being able to use an mp3 player plugged in as well as cd's just for the odd track i can't get on vinyl. Still remaining faithful to vinyl though lol.
And i would do the same thing Aleksandra if the power went off. In fact maybe double sambuca shots   |

Man that is bad lol you don't expect that from ortofon 
I'm not sure what is happening with ortofon to be honest. My mate just bought some brand new pink concordes and the sound is all crackly on them he had to take them back. Loads of people have been complaining about some of thier new products, seems weird |

Well... I know you can just bump a needle on a record past any small skips or "accidental loops" and keep on trucking, but I haven't used CD players enough to know if you can just fast forward on the disk to bypass said fault.
Either way though it's a massive bummer.

Never had no problems with equipment except once ages ago in a bar and it was my fault
We were using a phone instead of headphones (remember that) and after I'd cued the first mix up I put the phone on top of the mixer as there wasnt much room and flicked the Phono/Line switch on the mixer so all the sound went off.
I didnt have a clue what I'd done, everyone stopped dancing and started booing/laughing/shouting
I would've normally been embarassed but I was trippin at the time so didn't care
The record I was cueing up was Your Love by The Prodigy (told ya it was ages ago) so once my mate figured out what I'd done about 5 minutes later I put it straight on and everyone went mental and all was forgotten

That's some ghetto shit right there.

Oh yes. Decks set up on a door that was laid flat across a few piles of bricks. Complete with belt drive decks and mixer from 1985. |
Oh yes but that shit there was when it was about the tunes man not the mixing , some real rough roots level days them man
