Hello Joe
Op 26 Jan 98 00:35 had jij het over *Matsushita (was: Scratch 
equipment...)*...
JK>>> On the road, turntables are only used for scratching.
TK>> Nope....not in my kind of work....scratchers are a minority over here.
JK> What kind of work are you in?
I am sound engineer at the Arena in Amsterdam
JK> Rave/Techno/whatevertheycallit DJ?
No Joe....
JK>  Why do you use Vinyl?
Because that is what the people want....and what they want the DJ's to do..
Also because vinyl is better to control in a mix than CD.
JK> Nostalgia? Because it's "kewl"?
Do you really think that you, by far, could have the slightest idea what 
"kewl" is.....do you really know anything about the Pro-audio sector ?...have 
you ever seen anything else in your life than the folder of the local 
audioshop and what those idiots told you to call PRO ?
JK>>> And scratching certainly has nothing to do with pro audio, more with
JK>>> noise.
TK>> So, why bother to talk about it then ?
JK> Well... This is the AUDIO echo, not the PRO_AUDIO echo. So, I think that
JK> turntables might be ontopic here...
Amazingly good thinking, Joe...
I earn my money in the pro audio business by being a sound engineer and a 
good one....All the gear you need for a band + support act + non-live music 
etc. etc. etc. is in this case PRO-AUDIO GEAR....RIGHT ?
Pro means Professional....RIGHT ?
I haven't encountered any other PRO turntable system in this PROfession than 
the Technics SL-12xx MKx.....only on the rare occasion and with regret.
Don't talk to me about LINN or likewise.....those things are Hi-End 
turntables but definitely NO Pro-gear.....it wouldn't survive a week...
Maybe a Thorens Reference in the occasional LP-restoration studio could be 
called PRO.
JK> Even if I don't like them, other people
JK> might, and I'm still curious why...
I don't care whether you like or dislike Turntablesystems....it's all about 
music anyway....but then I assume you also don't like music ? =)
Groetenzenzovoorts, Thom
