Audio Technica AT-LP1240-USB Turntable Review

The Audio-Technica company has been making some new waves in the DJ vinyl turntable market and I, for one, like what I see. A couple of weeks ago, we brought you the review of the Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB turntable which is basically a nice rendition of the iconic classic Technics 1200 deck. Not only was it a good look-a-like, but it also performed rather well for its price. Audio-Technica has now introduced an even better SUPER-OEM turntable that can hang with the best of them called the AT-LP1240-USB. Check out our Full HD-Video review after the jump.

Gemini UMX-5 Scratch Mixer (Great Deal)

Every once in a while, you can find excellent deals on barely used DJ Gear all across the internet and sometimes even in Pro Audio stores or pawn shops. Almost all of my gear is Brand New and I usually hate buying anything used, but there are some exceptions to this rule. Lots of times in the DJ Game, many people who decide to DJ one day will completely abandon the hobby in exchange for another shortly thereafter. There is a high turn-around rate for new DJ's and not everyone stays on and goes to that next level. So gear that has only seen a few weeks of use can sometimes find its way to an auction block for a sweet price. Such was the case with my mint-condition Gemini UMX-5 Professional Scratch mixer that I found last week for only $35 US Shipped to my doorstep. Don't believe me? Then check out the video inside....
