I think I am not going to get a DJing setup, just looking for a turntable for listening purposes. I recall someone mentioning in this thread that turntables geared towards DJing (like the Technics) might actually not sound as good as something much less iconic and cheaper, so I figure that aiming for something that both sounds good and is sturdy and reliable for DJing is going to set me back much more in terms of $$$ than something that is aimed for listening but not so much for DJing.
Yeah and now this brings me to a huge GAS related purchase that I have been thinking about for a year already - getting a subwoofer to match my pair of Neumann KH120A.
Which brings me to thinking about how to set up my room correction plugin EQ in a way that does not require all audio to pass through a DAW in a laptop.
Which brings me to indecision and depression.
Anyway thanks for the tips.

Why do you want a direct drive? I was always taught that direct drive is for DJs as they start and stop quicker while for listening belt drive is better because there9s a belt between the motor and the needle. Is that no longer true?
I don't care either way actually. I chose this model because it's TEAC (which means Tascam?), it has the phono preamps and even USB out. Also maybe I am being stupid about this but I never believed in turntables that cost 200EUR or less because they seem kind of flimsy?

I need to figure out what the hell is going on with all my audio routing and room correction though. And figure out a good place to put it too.
Not sure if I am ready to become vinyl guy either though.

Couple of tracks I did during my holidays but did not bother to post here yet.
The mix is going to sound a bit off probably because I only had my headphones with me.

Again a collab.

I have some books under my speakers.
(Don't ask what's under the books)

Next up, learn how to remap keys so I can use it with the temporary keypad until I decide on a permanent one.
EDIT: of course none of these custom installs have a FAT formatted bot partition like a stock install, and I don't have Linux installed on anything and working on the RPi itself is kind of a hassle because of the way everything's set up, so remapping keys means digging out an old laptop and either booting from a Knoppix CD or going all in and doing a full Linux install. Leaning toward the latter but I have a couple hours to decide before the boot partition is backed up. Seems like n real choice, though, it's always good to have a Linux machine of some kind handy when you need it.
Why do you need a FAT formatted boot partition? Got to be some easier way to remap the keys, especially if it is just for one application.

I feel a bit uncomfortable with all this, if you look at a photo of BCM his speaker placement matches the direction his ears are actually pointing. Stop bullying him.
I think Shrek can afford a better studio after all those movie deals though.

you what mate?
When are you going to get a matching dryer for the left speaker?

Ran out of time working on this, the end kind of drags on and on and on and on. Will fix it in the album liner notes.

I get the point about the gear holding the rack together, but thenagain this is Stagg gear, which in my experience means don't even breathe on it too much, else it crumbles to dust.

bargain!Thanks! Although I have to say it looks flimsy as hell, I am pretty sure my Roland XV5080 alone is enough to structurally destroy it.
By the way off topic but your sig seems to have enough space for an additional studio space (or maybe something is up with my browser).

much slimmed down my setup (haven't sold anything, just put it away for a bit).
in this pic are my juno 106, korg dw-8000, behringer model d, tascam 2488, korg sq-1, yamaha rev500, roland srv-3030, t.c. electronic m350, zoom rfx-1100, novation drum station and behringer fca-1616 interface.
What's the rack thing enclosure? Seems really neat and light. My rack stuff is all over the place as monitor stands basically, so occasionally I think about something more professiona.

That lamp would make a kickass thing to tape full of contact mics and do an ambient percussion performance though.
Weird how a modern living room is essentially an altar for the TV that is absolutely dominated by the huge screen and a couch or something.

Yeah, by force of superhuman willpower I closed the Thomann tab with this in it. Would not consider anything else though anyway.
