I use this board for over a year, I find it very powerful! I weighed a scratch, pass-pass and other technical turntablism ... we can say that I do not spare, yet it is ... I had Vestax and Numark turntable before ... Not the top end (can not afford!) but for this price range there are few decks which comes close! Indeed, the engine torque corresponds perfectly, it is a little softer than the MK2 but not by much, in terms of stability is even better than the latter and in terms of its very good ... it is the pitch Adjustable 10 / -10 to +20 / -20 is perfect for mix instrumental ... the next time I change the platinum is in 4 or 5 years, I am overwhelmed at the moment!
