Best value: Excellent
- How long have you use it?

In fact I do not use more than 9 years (I found better) but I had for 5 long years ... Those who say that can not compete Vestax scratch issue, I agree completely, on the other hand Question ... er mix I laugh, Vestax is very far superior to the Technics on this point
- What is so special that you like most and least?

While at the plate, it is undoubtedly the very best, with a good pair of felt, the disc slides without stop, unlike a lot of decks "cheap" as gemini, and bst consors .
For it is a pitch against the infamous horror, not specific to one penny goes wrong all the time (when you see your plate instead of speed up slow when you have a% you will understand). The mix requires a +0.2% you forget, we must accelerate the other deck to enter a range of the pitch more comfortable on the other ...
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

I tried at a friend of BST, sub brands such as FTE and others ... I soon realized the obvious: It would be better saved to buy Technics, at the time (1994) could not compete with it .
- How would you rate the quality / price?

We found new ones in Switzerland for less than 600 CHF (325 €), since they, like all the decks in general, outbreaks. Things certainly due to the practice of deejaying, which has become widespread. Before there were only discos, mobile disco and rare hip hop DJ who get them. With the advent of technology, demand has increased considerably ...
They are found in a time of good prices, if you're hardcore, do not hesitate, except the pitch, they are indestructible.
-With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Well at the time, yes, of course, but now there are much better turntables. The conccurents after searching for years to have the recipe without success eventually find it ... And then, wherever you go, you will only find TECHNICS, so much to buy, you mixerez "at home"
