«  An excellent first purchase »

Best value: Excellent
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.
