I use these plates for a year. Nothing Specific. The grip is almost instantaneous, the look is shabby legerment but what annoys most is the cue that is not really fast (about one second lag between button and support the launch of the music ...) But for the platinum price remains a reliable and robust, which has never lach. These are my Premire plates but with the experience I would do not have that choice. I would lean towards the plutt Numark CDN22 home.
