Hmm…as far as being built like a technics turntable, you’re right the Numark PT01 is not made as well…however the sound output is fine and I use my pt01 when I am at my girls house and there is literally no difference in my work from one place to the next.
At work I have my connection coming into my 2500 via Rane 56…in my home I alternate between the rane 56, this

I took my PT01 mpc 1000 and headphones to jury duty on Monday and made a few people question what was going on since I had to waste half a day sitting around. Ha.
