Modding My Portable Turntable

[@bradleyturner446]

Great project, very happy to be able to contribute to it! End product looks great with the new slipmat and the stickers.

[@owenelliott8143]

If I needed help with mine could I send you it to put together? Same stuff, start stop button, ultra pitch, pre amp

[@owenelliott8143]

Would obviously pay for postage to and fro, and for you time.

[@samanderson806]

I got the Jessie Dean fader, installed it, and had to contact him for a replacement because it was defective. Probably due to a similar issue. He was OK about sending me another one, but he made me send him pictures of the install, which was slightly offensive.

nice to be able to assemble all this at once. The budget howerver is huge. I just bought two ION turntables for 70€ and they are the same as the Numark. You can also add mods on them. Also, I'm searching for second hand cartridges now but nothing cheap for now! I love to find the lower money and better quality ratio, a kind of challenge but not impossible! Happy scratch practice.

Awesome.u need a second one and a nice mixer and you will be able to dj with them.Good stuff brother.I love it

[@djdaviddeez]

[@ScarlettSane]

Hello everyone! I'm thinking about buying Stanton STX. But I'm not sure. I want to learn scratch. Is a portable turntable a good choice compared to a standard turntable? For me the advantage of a portable turntable is that it has a built in crossfader so you don't need a mixer and you can hide it anywhere... 😁🙃

[@oldstyleanalog6459]

U should get the target light.Then it will be all done up.I got the light on my tone arm and target.Mine are done up with either a raiden or behringer ddm 4000 mixer and serato.i got the sl1 scratch and works great.I want to see u beatmatch with 2 brother.I bought 5 of them and Jesse Dean is 1 hr and 20 min away from me.so i go with cash in hand and he hooks me up fat.Il be selling pt 01 usb for mixing and if client wants a fader i have raiden fader.Keep on djing brother.cheers

I installed the tonarm kit last week. Anyone else have issues with the original tonearm switch hitting the JDD preamp?

[@space6712]

You can also add Bluetooth and Ultrapitch. Much needed in my opinion.

[@simmadub]

I did get a bluetooth receiver for it, just forgot to include in the video, makes it so much simpler to play beats through it!

[@Meginus]

@@simmadub where can i get the bluetooth receiver from?

[@djbonne1]

Beautiful

[@ve4ny]

Hi! Can you tell me please, what type of needle is better for scratch? Plastic or mettalic needle

[@simmadub]

I'd definitely recommend not using the plastic needles that come pre-installed and using a regular stylus, like this Ortofon one I am using. the plastic ones are much more likely to cause damage to records and also won't sound as good. But if you are new to this world and just playing around with it for fun with records that you don't mind potentially damaging, then the plastic one would be fine to start with. no point spending all that money on better equipment if it's not needed!

[@ve4ny]

@@simmadub Thanks a lot!

[@itimmy101]

Um....did you happen to see the "stanton STX" yet? Everything you did to this pt01 is already done for on the stx.

[@JohnnyJohnHub]

Hi, can you tell what cartridge and stylus you have here? Im also thinking about buy tonearm PCB but not sure if i will able to adjust cartige, there is no posobiloty od that

[@simmadub]

this is an Ortofon VNL cartridge/stylus, you do have the ability to adjust it like a regular cartridge by loosening the screws, calibrating the position, then tighterning up. I got the cartridge/needle as part of a bundle with the tonearm from Turntable Training Wax

[@SamHainScott]

Nice, does the new tonearm prevent you from playing 12" records? Ive heard thats an issue

[@RookieRay]

what ORTOFON cart/needle did you get?

[@simmadub]

VNL cartridge, as a bundle with the tonearm via Turntable Training Wax. Happy with it for sure

[@JbGabriellee]

Cool

[@ReketSquad1]

Love ortofon vnl! I have reloop spin modding/

[@Dj_SoundMeth]

✌

[@technodrone313]

bummer that the stx came out a few weeks later lol

[@simmadub]

I’m yet to try out the stx but yeah it looks great and ready to go out the box, but I did really enjoy the process of putting the PT01 together

[@judekraft6]

That’s more than 100 euros on stickers!u could’ve bought mad replacement belts

[@simmadub]

stickers are just from a lifetime of collecting (or hoarding?), do you recommend a belt upgrade? It didn't seem necessary from what I read, but do you think it makes a difference?

[@calebterr8877]

Nice! I put the bihari tonearm on mine your's look sleeker tho
