Other than that I think djing is a talent whether you scratch or not but people need to recognize that without scratching or continous chopping you are just "playing other peoples records." Scratching is my form of expression and allows me to play with the rhythm instead of just adding to it. when it really comes down to it though the only real way to take techno to the next level is to make it. Thats why I run the mc505, EMU xl7, JP8000, and rebirth.record spinning is fun but controlling the music takes the party to the next level. and sequencing allows for more room for the scratch while filters screw your head up.

Erm, I have been honourably proved wrong in this thread allready (thanks cody!) & I dont wanna start the eternal Dj argument...
But,
Technics could easily be described as fucking vicious well wicked tables, they helped start this Dj'n thing & we should all be eternally greatfull. They have (untill recently) been the undisputed industry standard for Dj's & turntablists alike.
However, as good as they are, they have changed little or none since the original 1200's (over 20 years).
I would expect you to only have bee nto a few parties with Vestax - They're in thier infance compared to Technics, Theres fuckloads more Technics out there coz untill now every club, Dj & party has had Technics.
Vestax & Numark dont get thier products reliability anywhere near Technics for the same reason - They just havent been around long enough!
Me thinks Vestax & Numark have added improvenents/new features to the turntable: higher torque, Waaaay longer pitch +/-, reverse mode, variable break/start, feedback reduction, ASTS tonearm. If you do a side by side test, the Technics dont seem to cut it. D'ya getme?
Mc505 Sweet, Id kill for a Groovebox.
Peace.
