Need some advice

[smaks]

Hi all,

I'm thinking about selling my turntables.

I have 2x American Audio HTD 4.5 in perfect condition,

The engine in it is actually a near copy of the MK2's engine because they lost there patent a couple of years ago.


How much would you guy's ask for them?

Specs:

Another question:

Should i sell them ?

I really only mix behind my desk with the U-Mix Control Pro.
On the other hand it's near impossible for me to mix without the sync button because the jog wheels are to light. Maybe it's my settings but for now it's not really an issue.

What arguments would you give in favor of keeping the turntables ?

Yess i still have vinyls in the wall closet and i occasionally buy Jazz Records.
I enjoy ALL Music , not only electronic but since i mixed on a budget i never really learned or practiced other styles. Is timecode easyer than joghweels to mix other styles with more complex beatpaterns ?


As you can notice i have a bit of a dilemma

Never ever sell your turntables if you don't have two others. I have tried to mix without them, but I always came back to turntables. It is a personal thing, everyone has to take his or her own decision, but I would say: keep them.

I say keep 'em. Even though I have a pair of turntables in a coffin for use with Cross, etc - I have a 3rd turntable for 'listening' setup.

There's just something about putting hands on vinyl and listening that I really love.

if you have no need for them and can afford to put them in storage ,,you can all ways sell them later or have them to use later wish i could have kept mine
