Portable turntable?

Does anyone use a portable ie vastax handy trax to sample into the beat machine?
What other portable record players are there out there that you can use to sample?

I put this in the diggers section cause I know cats be taking their portables to garage sales, thrift shops
or record shows...

Peace

Oh also, has anyone use the dr sampler SP303 or 404? what are the differences between the two?

I prefer TT & Dj Mixer cause the Pre-Amp is 10x's better then a PT01 even though I have a PT01 I only use it for diggin.

SP404 is 24/96khz and sounds more flat to me than a 303. I like the 303 over the 404 just cause the 303 has the warm analog sound the Pre-Amp on the 303 is really good for how small the machine is..

Word, I feel ya on the TT mixer setup but I'm going on the road and won't be able to have a mixer so need to stay as light weight as possible.

GOod look on the 303 tip tho, I mos def want that warm fuller sound.

The PT01 doesn't have outs though right? to connect to a sampler?

If your traveling then I would say yes the PT01 will be fine it's not the greatest but it will do a damn good job. It has RCA In's so yes you can hook up the MPC to it.

Ill!! and what about the numark pt01 vs vestax handy trax?

i only have the handytrax n its dope but i heard pt01 has a better sound, on handytrax the sound is a bit thin and the bass really doesnt come out.

The PT01 is cheaper if you have to buy replacement parts and the built in speaker I think sounds better then a Handy Trax. The only advantage of the HANdy Trax is that the lid can be attached to the bottom of it.

das wasup! and its like half as cheap?! wtf

Appreciate the feedback fam

PT01 is dope for digging but trash for sampling. The needle on it is wak and cant be upgraded. I only bring the PT01 out if im hitting the record spot.

You can change the needle me & my boy did it to his and works good.

^ Do tell

The needle comes off but Ortofon's don't work from my experience and Shure I think might not of worked I can't rememeber.

hahaha i use my PT to sample... does the job for now
i just havent had time to get my 1200 a mixer in a long time until then PT-01

The cartridge itself can’t come off and I haven’t been successful in finding someone who knows a part number of a compatible needle. If I found that I wouldn’t mind sampling off the PT01 but with the needle it comes with its complete garbage.

My bad I meant the Stylus you can rig it to work. I think we used a Stanton one cause it resembled the stock one..
