Out with the old in with the new!
I’ve been a longtime vinyl collector and last summer I started getting into mixing and turntablism. I had an Audio Technica LP120X turntable for several years and opted to getting a second one without doing any real research on whether it was appropriate for scratching since at first I just wanted it for mixing.
Soon after I got a couple Ortofon Q.Bert cartridges and started practicing some scratching here and there. I started off with a pretty heavy hand and was wondering why the motor on the LP120X kept shutting off by itself and soon regretted my decision of buying a matching TT.
More recently I’ve started practicing scratching more seriously and decided it was time for an upgrade! Just got the Reloop RP7000MK2 in today and I’m excited to start scratching with it. Especially with that torque knob and the reverse and +/-50 pitch features.
I still have one other LP120X but I just plan on playing music off of that and scratching with my left hand. Maybe I’ll upgrade the other one once I want to try beat juggling 😅
