i have Djing now for 2 years. i don't do it professionally, i do it for me and my mates but having changed my turntables 4 times i have finally settled on a set on 1210's. i fell in love. they were 2nd hand (or more..i don't know) and they had been scratched bumped and general knocks. but i was amazed at how robust they are.
There is one fault only that i just wish wouldn't happen but when mixing trance tracks that are within a beat or two of each other, it is extreamley difficult to fine tune the pitch and you have to settle for a double beat.
But for a set of decks they are still the best in my mind and will stay that way (Until they design a better version of them!)
