You gonna be so hooked! I got my PT01 a little over a year ago and I’ve been slowly modding it since. 1: Put in the Jessie Dean tonarm 2: installed a Start/stop button 3: changed out to lithium battery with battery housing. 4: Changed the platter to the more stable aluminum version 5: Did the belt tighten mod using the band I am more than happy with these mods. I choose to do an ortofon housing because I still had about 4 needles left over from my Tech 12’s. I also opted not to change out the factory “fader” because I like the “switch” feel. And besides, I could always add an external portable fader or portable mixer with a real fader. Or just a mixer with a fader. I was going to put a strobe light on just for the look of it but I noticed that it would interfere with me playing 10” and 12” records.(I’ve discovered that playing 12” is difficult with my start/stop button being slightly raised and in the way). Then I thought to myself, am I really going to play anything other than 7” on this unit? No not really. But the strobe light is rather unnecessary. I think the last mod that I would consider is the Bluetooth board. I would even do the ultra pitch before that. Anyway, I’m looking forward to integrating my PT01 with the new Phase that’s coming out so that we can all go to that next level shit!!!! Peace

[@djTLMtv]

Ah, I forgot about that belt tightning mod! I read about it, but I haven’t seen it yet.

[@Thyst1]

DJ TLM TV All it is, is one of those rubber wrist bands that you get for free as a promo or like for a cause, wrapped around the base of the platter and then re-install the belt as you normally would when you are replacing it. I’m more than sure you have a dozen of those bands lying around somewhere. 👍🏼

[@lheist77]

Its going on a year since i bought mine. love the fact that i can take it on the go and bust it out when ever i have a itch to scratch. I have kept mine stock up until now thinking of changing a few things. Can't wait to see what mods you do.

[@TheSkratchmaster]

Welcome to the portableism crew! I was kind of lucky to be able to get an affordable vestax! - but im too scared to mod that one, so am looking forward to getting a pt-01 too, hopefully i can follow along with you on the mods, and have full on portable mix sessions!

[@MosheBenChaim]

TLM? 😮 Wow! Broeder! Lang niet gezien.. Je zal mij vast niet meer kennen, ik ben Marino uit Zeeland. Heb jou leren kennen via Gert Jan Braintje in (volgens mij Wassenaar of op een talenten jacht ergens anders, maar in mijn herinnering was het Wassenaar) Wij hebben nog samen staan scratchen net de laatste 10min van mijn set net voordat jullie begonnen. Was echt DIK! Jij deed de beat en ik de cuts enzo. Jij zal het vast niet meer weten aar voor mij is het een mooie memory. ❤

[@zappendustah]

Nice review! Very enjoyable to watch! 👍🏽

[@reminisce76]

Great video as always! I bought this last year. Watched loads of videos on it and decided to take the plunge into modifications. I installed the Jesse Dean Fader which is amazing!!! The cuts feel much sharper. This is perfect for me to practice on and learn various scratches. I love the fact that it's portable to! Looking forward to seeing your modifications as well for inspiration. Be blessed and keep scratching. 🎶

[@djTLMtv]

Yeah, Jesse Dean has some great products. I might go for the JD fader and tonearm

[@scupakus]

that recent PCB toneatm is dope good price, you can use with shure 44 or ortofon om and theres a light built in!!!! @@djTLMtv

[@nxvx5361]

Do you have to have an iphone to play beats or can you use android or youtube. Will it play anything that connects through aux or you have to use an app?

[@SamuRai-dn5xl]

@@nxvx5361 any aux input will do the job. Its really a great product. I highly recommend it on sheer fun alone. I just set it up to the aux cord in my car last night and was scratching the road. Totally something I never could do with a Turntable / Mixer / Speaker / etc

[@crisfromtheearth2872]

Water clear comments ...great done

[@alexanderfdj]

Well my upgrade was new crossfader jesse dean, start stop button bihari, jesse dean tonearm and preamp for phono, shure m44/7 needle, stalibiser ring under the platter, rubber band under the platter for better torque plus external battery with output 5v 2A & usb inverter 5v to 12v for the power input. Lots of practice from DJ TLM TV and Big up!!

[@djTLMtv]

Sounds dope!!!

[@liamm8189]

Had one for a while now. Drop in fader was the only modification i have done. Turntable training wax is the place to go for mods /vinyl.enjoy.

[@scratchzombie4017]

Nice review ,DJ TLM ,as we have watched your videos before wondering if you would ever crossover to portablism.We are very happy to see u jump on board .Welcome to the mod world of portablist as we wait on part 2 of the review peace.Paya.

[@djTLMtv]

I did rock a QFO with a long extention cord. Does that count as portable? 😁 But yeah man, I’m looking forward to turning this bad boy into a beast! 💪🏾

[@scratchzombie4017]

The Qfo is a beast on its own.the Qfo alone makes u an original portablist!peace portablist Paya.

[@ahnodi3450]

Had this for myself too! Cant wait for the Stokyo Kutter (portable fader),as for now im trying to get use to the switch fader

[@djTLMtv]

Once you get the hang if it the switch fader is pretty nice too

[@shanaew24]

Great video thanks 🙏🏽 I think ima go with the modifications plug and play method🙂 safe for me.

[@cityweststudios8072]

Have one of these. I did the following mods to it: 1. Jesse Dean magnetic fader, the second version, that let's you adjust the cut-in with just a little screwdriver without taking the unit apart. Cuts are clean and sharp. 2. Jesse Dean carbon fiber tonearm and mounted a Shure M 44-7. Works great. Really stable and reliable. 3. Jesse Dean digital start/stop button. 4. Solidcutz aluminium platter. Stable and definitely (a lot) better than the stock platter. For batteries, there are a few options. I decided to go with a USB cable to be able to connect it to a powerbank. Works perfect! Of course, there's a lot more options to mod out on the PT01, but I think the four I did are essential to elevate the portable scratch experience to a much higher level. Great video by the way! I'm curious, what you decide to go with. Peace!

DJ TLM TV have you did any modifications to this turntable to it yet , if so I want to buy have it modified by you guys! I am fixing to buy me one in a few weeks, how can I get those record vinyls that you are using in this video or does those with the hardware....please let me know!!! P.s. can it be use to control any dj app like DJ Pro app for apple App Store?

1.2.4c is hands the the best fader I used on my pt01

That will happen for sure

[@ahnodi3450]

@@djTLMtv ok thats great news!!im ready and waiting ✌

[@AcousticSerenity]

Is this a good starter for learning how to scratch? Been wanting to get into it and i love the fact you can take it anywhere you go.

[@Farmatique]

Hey! Interesting to know about that "phono/line"-style cuts of oldschool turntablist. Would be interesting to find some videos back from those days. One more thing to mention: PT-01 can work as a DVS right out of the box! You just need to hook it up to your iPad (never tested with iPhone, but I guess it should work too) and run Mixfader-app. Then you can connect portable Mixfader via bluetooth, put timecode-vinyl and voila - here`s a portable DVS-setup. At least how I use it.

[@djTLMtv]

That’s true. That Mixfader app works with any usb turntable (and analog turntables if you add an audio interface). I should try it with my iPad👍🏾

[@Farmatique]

@@djTLMtv I wish Reloop Spin would work in that way, since I need to use external audiointerface to make it work with Mixfader-app (just like you mentioned above). Talking about Reloop Spin, IMO its better than PT-01 almost in everything "out of the box", like platter, torque, start/stop button, power-bank support, etc. But that "DVS-feature with iPad" is a big advantage of PT-01, at least for me.

[@MrGoodbye23]

If you could turn this unit into a dvs system, that would be HELLA dope. please make this modification

[@djTLMtv]

You don’t have to mod anything. Just connect the turntable to a serato mixer (or use a serato audio interface) and use the control vinyl

[@salvadordisisto1885]

Nice review!! Have one and just tried to connect with USB to the computer and figured out that the sound of the vinyl is out but I cant use the feder, neither the tone and volume. Would be grate if you can help me with that! thanks!!!

[@papad9431]

you should do an update on your PT01 on the upgrades you have done and start "episodes" on how to scratch for beginners on the PT01 🙏🏽

I still haven’t modified my PT01. As soon as I do, I will make a video👍🏾

@@djTLMtv okay thank you!

[@ginoblackofficial]

Any recommendations for a right handed DJ? As far as the placement of the innofader? I typically work the fader with my left hand?

[@djlala]

i've had mine for 2 years now .. i need to finally mod it .. aiming to switch the fader .. maybe that innofader stem connect .. would love the tone arm that rotates all the way to other side.. think it would help since i scratch record hand on record and fader on left hand..

[@djTLMtv]

If I remember correctly it was a Jesse Dean tonearm

I really like this but is there something similar with a little bit bigger platter? I have huge hands

[@doublelifeharvey9044]

It looks like a cool bit of kit! I'm getting one for my nephew, he's new to scratching and I thought it would be a great 'starter' table for him, I've heard it doesn't come with a vinyl? 🤷🏻‍♂️ can anyone reccomend any scratch vinyl other than the one in the video? 😎👌 thanks!

[@DopamineOverload]

Yo TLM! Have you tried the Reloop Spin, and if so, upgraded fader for it? How do you think it compares? Thanks!

No, I haven't tried it yet. I do have the OMNI here and I'll be testing that soon

[@djrichent97]

It look like a fisher price toy DJ TLM ....🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@djTLMtv]

Yup, and it works great!

[@aaricrude7122]

Can this be used with Serato? Is anything needed besides the Serato record and Serato software?

[@djTLMtv]

You will need an audio interface to activate Serato. For instance: if I use the PT01 Scratch with my DJM-S9 as the mixer, Serato will work. Or connect it to something like a Rane SL2 or the Denon DS1. I remember seeing a video of the DS1 as a built-in Serato mod. That’s an option as well

[@mpbangamusic9673]

Great review but can't understand why Numark just don't release a new version with all the necessary mods as stock???

[@djTLMtv]

The market might be too niche for them to spend too much more on this product, but I don't know

[@scupakus]

great video, what mods are you planning to do?

[@djTLMtv]

Thanks. I hate to put you in the spot, but you didn’t watch the video 😉 I clearly named a list of parts that I’ll be replacing in this video 😁

[@scupakus]

I always put my first comment while still watching to keep the channel busy so vlogger might get up to highlighted section on yt, but you are right , my bad @@djTLMtv

[@djTLMtv]

It’s all good bro. It just looked weird because I mentioned all of the mods 😄 I might even do more once I het started, but the fader, tonearm, start/stop and platter are sure shots

[@scupakus]

DJ TLM TV my advice is ditch tej plater for diy feltmats or transfer balls underneath original platter but get battery. I can run 2pts of external power bank. And when I use only one pt battery last for a week. And it’s quicker to charge one power bank then few D or AA batteries

[@californiadreams9408]

scratch disc isn't included ?

[@nathmukherjee8865]

Nah

[@ricky3433]

Is there any vinyl record included in the set or need to be purchased separately?
