Quality

This Ion turntable is very affordable and it works as well as the Technics 1200's. I had a pair of 12's yrs ago. But right now it's all about quality and affordability. Lots of people are skeptical about equipment they never tried before. I also had a Numark Pro tt2 and it's another very neatly designed and sturdy turntable that will last. The Ion is neat because it has a reverse switch unlike the Technics and many other turntables. Take my word on it I can scratch and do some nice stuff with it. My cousin DJ Ready Red who use to DJ for the Geto Boys even came over and spun on the Ion tt3x. He said he was interested in getting a pair because of the reverse feature which his 1200's don't have. The Ion ways 26 lbs and is a must for any pro dj or intermediate dj.
