Well I shall immediately make it clear that the price for my part has not come into play since it is my uncle who used trs few who lent them to me. It is therefore with m3d I started mixing it 7 months now. And really the comfort and reliability of this material is impressive! I was afraid to handle these difficult beginners gear and CRER small pb! but with decks like this, no risk! Those who can afford to take the technics, do not hesitate !!!!!
