Direct Drive Automatic Turntables when buying a turntable,as far as belt or direct drive,and manual,automatic or semi automatic,how do i decide?
What are you planning to use it for? What sort of music do you listen to?
I prefer direct drive because I have had too many belt drives where the belt (a big rubber band) broke and replacement challenges vary by manufacturer.
BUT, the direct drive turntables can be more expensive because there is a lot of design effort that goes into isolating the motor from the rest of the turntable so there is no hum carried to the platter (which can get picked up by the stylus in the cartridge - which might be audible from the speakers)...
As for auto vs semi-auto vs manual... auto means the tone arm and stylus are picked up and dropped at the start of the record and automatically move back to the holder when the side is over. Semi auto gets you to place the tone arm and it automatically moves back to the holder when the side is over. Manual means you have to do all the placing and replacing the tone arm. I like semi-auto or manual.
Featuring variable torque, versatility and control, the TTX stands alone among professional turntables because it was exclusively designed for the modern DJ, with a silicon rubber base that absorbs vibration and dampens low end feedback, and an interchangeable tone arm system that adapts to any DJ style. Additional features include digital outputs for direct sampling, Key Lock and ±50% pitch control for unprecedented mixing options. Delivering a new standard in turntables and expanding the possibilities of vinyl, the TTX remains ahead of the game.
