Numark TTXUSB Review
The Numark TTXUSB is a USB direct drive turntable that offers loads of features, including an interchangeable tonearm system with both straight and offset options. With other standard features like anti-skate, pitch control, and a solid steel construction, this USB turntable is one of the best mid-price direct drive models on the market. The adjustable torque is also a big selling point, says one Numark TTXUSB review on Sweetwater.com.
This high-end turntable is an all-around winner. An expert Numark TTXUSB review on Skratchworx.com awards it top grades for build and sound quality, features, and value for the price, although he hedges just a bit on the performance of the S-shaped tonearm. A Numark TTXUSB review on Amazon.com agrees that the turntable is a sound buy even though it doesn't come with a cartridge. This consumer also recommends buying a software package, such as Nero, for "heavy duty" recording because in his opinion, Audacity isn't up to the task.
The TTXUSB is one of the few USB direct drive turntables offering a full set of features as well as solid construction. It's a good value if you're willing to spend the necessary extra to get direct drive.
