i side with vestax

they have always had top quality products

numark is not reputable company as far as turntables and mixers go so i really don't like them

i say pay the extra 20 bucks and get the vestax

Unless you absolutely need a portable turntable, don't get the handy trax. I have one and I'm dissatisfied with it. The sound is kinda hollow and it broke after a year of use... and I never even took it anywhere. Sometimes one of the channels won't put out sound, so I have to tap firmly on the top of table a few times to make it work again. I liked using my 1988 aiwa joint better than this

u'd have to be crazy to buy numark over vestax, but the handytrax prob isnt the best thing to buy for sampling from. save up and get a seconhand technics 1200, they are built like tanks.

I dunno about all that. Numark has come a looooong way, and I'll be the first to admit I'd trade my m3d's for a set of TTX-1's any day. In the case of mixers if it weren't for the chunky fader knobs, Numark's DXM-Pro would be a strong contender to the PMC-05 or even 07. Atleast in my opinion. The sound quality on that thing is BUTTER.

On topic tho, I own a handy trax and I primarily use it for diggin and record shopping. I have tho, hooked it up to my mpc2000 occassionally when I feel like working in the living room or something and the sound quality is so-so but it works. Then again I'm not goin for pristine, I keep it gutter (wankstas)... On the side of the Numark turntable, it came out right after the Hnady Trax and pretty much improved on everything. It even fits in your record crate. Might not sound like a big deal but take my word for it, that would be so nice to have digging.
