I'm dating myself a bit with that remark, but it shows that they can make a turntable that's nearly indestructable. I'm interested in a new turntable, and Technics' SL 1200 is top of the list. It doesn't do digital diddly squat, though. Bluebrat, Peter -

I have seen heaps of broken Numark 'crap' at the clearance center. I owned two of their early decks whose chassis practically doubled as a spring reverb. Nowadays their new stuff is competitive but not on par with Technics. The drive quality is still not quite Technics level. In my opinion transferring vinyl is so tedious *no matter what machine you have* that it's only worth doing on a hi-fi worthy deck (I use the Technics 1200). Just think: will this machine know when it encounters a skip, or which tracks belong where, or what the right recording level is? No; your attendance is always required!

I know names of the companies that make these but I know nothing of quality. is this decent? I really like the fact that this dumps WAV's onto a flash card, it definitely sounds like something my parents could use for their sets. How is NuMark in the world of Turntables anyway?
