Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a record deck to play and mostly record some of my vinyl to digital.
My current setup is Onkyo amp and Tannoy Eclipse Floorstanders and I'll be recording vinyl from say 91-95, hardcore, jungle, oldskool, techno etc, with the occasional newer dnb productions.
My first though was a half decent direct drive deck, so I could change the pitch if I wanted to record at a +/- (some tunes are just too slow or fast!).... e.g. the Audio Technica one that's about £230.
Then I wondered about one of the more audiophile ones - for a similar cost. I'd not be able to change pitch (From what I can see none of these models have this), and I'd be using a belt (which to any DJ would just be a total joke!), but... would I notice a difference in sound quality? - Or with the setup and type of music I'm listening to (amiga samples anyone?!) would it be hardly any different?
My preference is quite strongly to a direct drive dj deck as I'm not convinced an audiophile one would make *that* much difference in my situation. I just wondered what you guys thought?
