I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm not one of the Technics faithful. Don't get me wrong - Technics decks are legend in their own right - there's just something about them that screams old. That deck hasn't changed in decades. I'm actually looking at getting the Stanton STR8-150's. A friend has them, I've played on them and I love 'em. I think itch_vaccine has a pair as well.

yeah, pretty much in your line of thought.
Wanted to be a DJ, love the music, but theres NO MARKET FOR IT HERE. Seriously, do you think theres a big enough market in north idaho for electronic music to support my vinyl addiction and still pay the bills? nooooooo.
Likewise, 45 minutes down the road, in Spokane, WA, there used to be a budding scene, but the powers that be repeatedly mishandled thier responsibilities as promoters, let the drugs get out of control at private parties, smeared the reputation of many DJ's who were in it for the music (etc lots of drama) so I just quit, You know, maybe in hindsight, I should have just moved to a larger city like seattle or something, but whatever. I still have my records, it's not too late.
for the record my 1st set of decks were numark TT-100's and then I got the TTX's because they were freaking hot and innovative and had all sorts of interesting turntablist features. Looking back though, yeah, i've played on technics, they are pretty standard, but then again I can't really say I'm at the "level" in which I "need" anything more than a standard set of direct drive decks.
anyways, yeah, thats what I'd like to be doing.
