TTM 57SL vs. Numark NS7

DJ1800 7:03 PM - 6 February, 2012
I've been djing with 1200's and TTM 57SL for the past 5-6 years, and I was wondering would switching to the NS7 would be a good move or bad? What are some of the pros and cons of making this move? It seems like it might be easier on the back, but other than that...

Personally Id stay with the technics and a real mixer....
I find it easier to bring separate cases with my 1210s and 68, than carrying the NS7.
On the flip side ns7 setup on mobiles are quicker to set up. But I still prefer the "real" decks...

If you can afford it, get an NS6. I have TT's and a 57 for practice and use to use an NS7 for gigs. It got to be too heavy, especially with the case. I got the NS6 and I haven't skipped a beat. TT's, of course, have a better feel than the NS7 because their platters are too small. The NS7 doesn't really trump the NS6 in my opinion because you can only do so much on both little units. The spinning platters help if you're flashing and backspinning but you'd have to ask yourself how often you do that at a gig... The NS6 has 4 channels so you can pull off some nice creativity with practice.

Try and keep both. Get an NS6 for $799 online or less on Craigslist and have 2 setups.

I love the feel of vinyl also. I've been around DJ's since i was small and always had the mental visual of turntables and vinyl for djing, so thats the route I went when I got started. Just trying to see if the NS7 or NS6 were the same or different... Plus I really dont have another $1,300 to shell out for a new deck, so it would be one or the other.
