Product Information

On delivery you must inspect the goods carefully for damage as Inta Audio is unable to accept responsibility for damage in transit, shortage of delivery or loss of products unless the customer advises Inta Audio of such within three working days from the date of delivery. In summary: in addition to its solid construction, everything feels high quality on the PLX-1000, and it really looks the part as well, with its nice brushed metal finish. As I’m sure you’re curious about, it’s OBVIOUSLY in direct competition with the Technics SL-1210 MK7 that we’re about to cover. And with no real feature differences worth mentioning, all we’ll say is this: With a weight of 14.6kg (it’s very heavy, which is good), the PLX-1000 also utilizes lots of dampening design features and build materials, so it’s excellent at sound isolation; thus preventing unwanted vibrations and maximising sound quality. Note: You can also use a DVS system if you own older CDJs that take CDs. In this instance, instead of a unique vinyl record with timecode on it, you’ll get a CD.

Lastly, released in 2017 to replace the original STR8.150, we have the STR8.150 MKII from Stanton. It’s targeted at scratch DJs… hence the straight tonearm, which many turntablists prefer.

It’s not just about playing out with them, either. Even in the home or studio, the more committed hobbyist would still demand a nice sturdy turntable for optimal performance! One of the major attractions of having a DVS setup is that you can preserve the authenticity of DJ’ing on turntables but without the need to maintain a clunky vinyl collection. Simply put: a digital music collection mixed on turntables.

So, you may be wondering why the MK7s are not first on our list?! Well, firstly, the one spec that we can’t ignore is the weight. The MK7s are the lightest turntable on this list (varying between 15 – 30% lighter), and are also 20% lighter than the original MK2s – so they’re probably not the best option when it comes to isolating in loud, bass-heavy environments such as clubs & festivals, etc. In the same breath, it’s really not a concern if you only plan to use them at home or for house parties – which, let’s be honest, will probably be most people reading this! When you’re shopping for a set of DJ turntables, the two main things to consider are the torque (power of the motor) and the actual weight of the turntable. In plain English, it’s a technology that allows you to mix digital music files on your turntables. It’s made possible with a unique ‘’timecode disc’’ (a vinyl record), which communicates through a DVS interface (typically a small box with audio inputs and outputs) to your DJ software on your laptop.Any vinyl DJ (including scratch DJs) or an audiophile who wants a reliable turntable that does all the basics really well. The MK7s would also make the PERFECT gift for a DJ who’s considering mixing again and ideally already has records. Approximate price (per turntable):

Any DJ or music lover wanting a high-quality, capable DJ turntable; one that might also be used for casual listening. Also any DJ looking to convert their vinyl collection to digital. Approximate price (per turntable): Firstly, vinyl is the only true lossless audio format. This basically means that you’re hearing a truer representation of the original recording as the producer intended in the studio. Because of this, based on this compression argument alone, you WOULD get a ‘’better’’ sound compared to an MP3, or any other digital file.Next up we have the AT-LP1240-USB-XP from Audio-Technica (updated in 2018 from the original 2012 model). As well as being a professional DJ turntable it’s also targeted at audiophiles for general listening. Its most relevant competition from a buyer’s perspective is probably the Reloop 7000 MK2 (No.3 on this list). As the price is very similar to the Reloop, there are a couple of things to consider: Best suited to:

The battle-style layout leaves plenty of room for scratching, with the closest market comparisons being the RP-8000 MK2 from Reloop released in 2019 (see No.5) and the Rane Twelve from 2017 (see No.8).

If you do decide to use the tonearm, whether in DVS mode or for a regular analogue setup, the adjustable clamp will hold the vinyl in place to prevent the needle jumping whilst also keeping ‘warped’ records flat. Any vinyl DJ or audiophile looking for a reliable turntable that does all the basics really well without any ‘bells & whistles’ – one that doesn’t necessarily have their heart set on getting Technics. Also venue owners and club installers. Approximate price (per turntable):
