I've been using it for about... one month and I bought it secondhand.

Surely a big mistake...!

In short, it's true it's absolutely great!!!! sublime.... It's fully made out of metal and it's heavy!

Mixing is at least as easy as with a mk2!!!

...

However, a short time after buying it I noticed a problem during play back:

You can hear a slight noise when the plate is rotating (due to the rotation speed) and it even affects the audio signal's quality.

It's almost like a scratched vinyl record!!! (this problems occurs both with burned AND original CDs!)

And my MP3 tracks are not recognized anymore by my player...

...

I probably made a mistake buying it secondhand. Now I have a player which is not even 2 years old and I cannot use live because of its hideous sound.

I'm still waiting for Panasonic's after-sale service to get back to me but I'm not optimistic...

Until now, I'm very disappointed.

I'll update this review as soon as I get information from the after-sale service!

Talk to you soon!!!
