All user reviews of 4/5 for the Synq Audio X-TRM 1

How long you use it?

I use the plate for nearly a year.
I think the previous owner used it for 3 years.
Purchased in August 2011, I did well during my apprenticeship heat (up sessions 6-7h per day) and it is a pleasure to see that everything goes smoothly, without any fault to be declared ( ok, one, the vertical screw of the arm that was loosened, but this is a detail that can be set).
The deck is solid, sturdy, she took some shots (especially when traveling) but did absolutely nothing, this is a war machine.
The couple is very good, powerful engine, a pitch of + / - 50 very flexible, everything is tough, buttons and arms too.

Did you tried many other models before buying it?

No. Since I could feel a Technics SL MK2 and I still do not regret my purchase. I had relied on earlier opinions of this site and I'm not really disappointed.

What is so special that you love the most, least?

The engine, torque, durability, design, quality are +.
The deck starts like clockwork and is of excellent quality, I was able to inflict harsh treatment, based on intensive scratch, and I would never have progressed as fast on another plate.

I will say that the arm starts to have the game is the least I found him, but it is certainly the treatment of the former owner. I find no fault with this deck.
To remind that the deck is very heavy, but we must see here a high quality.

How do you rate the quality / price ratio?

For having paid € 300 in time, I'd say it's an excellent price / quality ratio. Its strength is that the pay of opportunity is absolutely not a problem, the quality is reliable. I saw a lot of people compare it to technics MK2, and obviously it is with reason. It has something to take 10-15 years the very least, that's for sure. (Okay, I venture to estimate a consistent, but I owe him that.)

With experience, this choice would you do?

Without hesitation, I'm very happy. I could not have hoped for a better first plate.

I put a 8 because it is the only deck that I really fumbled, but this board is an excellent choice.

It's been two years mnt that I use these decks

I adore the engine, c is really its strong point, it is even more interesting that a technics of this view, the SYNQ provides a direct answer, if you want to slow down or speed up the finger, you can go without the generously al effect is strongly felt ears, unlike other ad plates that react to the slightest friction

This is unfortunate, it is because the pitch is not + / - 8% is a pert little precision, you have to play a little with

j had tried the Technics, Gemini and Numark, and my favorites are the SYNQ and you

I think that we can not complain about the quality / price

with experience, I buy can be of technics, as they are when even the decks that are found everywhere and when they are known, it allows to have no surprises when you are invited to mix also

it has been 5 years since I hold these plates and in our group by a few in technické numark and we have a lot of these decks. I've served in XTRM conditions (rain snow dust numerous transport ...) and they are really very strong. it owns around the joints adjustment knobs to protect the mieu. they are really heavy but it provides better stability. Once the plates in fly box (with foam) the effect of rumble and broken and that even on very large platter and facade.le really nice pitch when he has asked for more precision than technické I find, has Note that the first decks were out of the ground wire. but the engine was being electro, the mass effect is therefore suprimé their studies they have all the details simply cancel service completely useless.
they made their exit from our numerous evidence (more use every day at home) and here that Buddhist those 5 years of heavy use it has ComenC be really flushed. shocked and fell several times but it always fonctionent I intend simply to renew the equipment therefore take the same (matter of habit).

For how long have you been using it?
10 Months in use Home Studio and evening, but she had already knocked a long time with the former owner and Bourlingue with me.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

MK2, MK5, TT1650 (lol), TTX, PDX, ST100, ST150 eating my disk, in short.

What is so special that you like best?

-Build quality, reliability, aesthetics, pitch (10,20,50), the adjustment of stop and démmarage, the couple set, the accuracy of the pitch .....

What is so special that you like least?

Go to the shit disturber, the lil lupiote with black rubber tip beautiful spa, but it's a detail.
What is your opinion about the value for the price?

From what I've tried yet, there is no photo

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?

Yes I plan to take over one.

I put in overall grade 8 just because I'm waiting to see on the duration and the lupiote.
In terms of disposable product that is, when something shitty to begin with. It is a manufacturing defect. At this price, I might say that is crap Xone4D also with the trouble I had when I bought it initially. Yet this machine is a monster.
