Portable Turntable Comparison - Numark PT01 - Reloop Spin - Omni

in this vid we compare the basic features of the 3 main portable turntables on market atm, the Numark PT01, Reloop Spin, and Headache Sound Omni.
we ramble a bit and there's too much knee but hey, that's life sometimes. there's a bunch of detailed reviews already out there for the numark and reloop and current mods, we were just going for a general comparison to help people trying to make a decision about which brand to go for. we love all 3.
Also note there is an entire DVS feature that we have not used or touched on that is unique to the Omni, we expect Headache Sound will bring out more info on that sometime soon.
presented by Jing Kohn, DJ Toby Gee, and scratch support from Bruce Highway

feel free to ask any q's in comments we'll do our best to answer them, we're not tech specialists or brand ambassadors, just lazy scratch nerds from Brisbane, Australia with a camera and internet connection and a bunch of portablsim gear laying around.

The PT-01 scratch works fine stock. Besides start stop I only added stuff because I like to tinker. I hate to think some people may not get involved in portablism because they cant afford all the Jesse dean stuff.

[@auraglasswerks4900]

Can’t afford a 69$ fader LMAO. But for realz i thought ill get an inexpensive portable...mod after mod later IM ALMOST 1000$ deep into a RELOOP SPIN. WTF! 😂.,

[@markcoffin1884]

Yea I agree, the pt01 is fine straight out the box, only added a platter stabilizer.

[@Michael-kn6tl]

@@auraglasswerks4900 it pretty cool if you have the cash to drop. some people may not be able to afford another 65 after dropping 140. Not everyone has the same expendable income. I'd hate for them to be turned off because they think it has to be expensive. My pt-01s is pretty good I only spent an extra 80.

[@alexandawhitcombe3617]

Dope video. Completely new to the scene and looking at jumping in! Cheers for this

[@Hasserfyllt]

thanks for sharing this informations! what a lovely bunch of turntables and the experience you share is more then helpful! i have now a nice modded out reloop spin and love it beyond everything. its _such_ a nice little fellow, with the massive new plate and a j&d fader, i am having _so_ much fun!

[@mcdizzle3487]

Kinda like that omni but that reloop looks dope . I have the numark pt01 . Just started scratching and it’s so addictive . Love it. Good review 👍

[@user-vc5by9fn1f]

can reloop spin play with computer？

[@gaarakabuto1]

Finally someone did it!!! Big ups!

[@joshuawhittemore3657]

So hard to hear with everyone talking.

[@shadowandlight100]

I have a Pto1 scratch which I modded the hell out of and the Omni (IMO) is the best value if you don’t want to take apart PTO1 and put in a new fader, new tone arm, bluetooth, Start/Stop, buy a $100 platter, and more stuff (unless you like to mod and spend far more on a portable belt driven table than a freaking 1200-lol). I am getting to be an old lady and modding is fun but still a pain. I personally think for the price the Omni is the clear winner but that is just my opinion. I don’t think the original Numark that you called ‘ghetto’ is a bad because if it weren’t for that version (plus Vestax) -there really wouldn’t be too much of a portable scratch scene. I am in Detroit and there really isn’t a large portable scene here but love to see all the cool shite people are doing... I hope to see what you guys think of the new Gakken vinyl cutter! Cheers!

[@Georg89]

Do you have any resources on how to get started modding the pt01?

[@frankensteinjr.4985]

Hey man, are you still around in the D?

[@evesevere1465]

If you are talking to me- yes I am

[@thewarrior313]

Hey, What up doe?

[@JonVlogs123]

Nice explanations! :)

[@moosic2i]

Man, that aussie marching powder is strong!

[@andyhsong]

thanks for this video guys!! i think im going with the omni

[@andysanger4606]

Where do you get the drum loops from, and how do you save them on your phone? I really want to get back into the hobby, but don't want to get a full dj set up.

[@robysanto2761]

I bought a Reloop Spin last summer and love it (after I modded it with a JD fader). Would a new platter make a difference? Just saw a video of a solid cutz platter, wondering if it'd be worth the price. Thanks for this video!

[@Pascalasct]

Hzy guys ! Finally, which is the best, the most portable (no sensibilty to vibration or rumble) and the most confortable to use according the 3 of you ?

[@Salamantine]

would you like a poll ? a separate video with all 3 testimonials ?

[@Pascalasct]

@@Salamantine Would be cool !

[@Tumetune]

Props from Finland, 28c here right now, I think I go for reloop for some park + jbl setup.

[@Salamantine]

28 Celsius degrees 😳😳 hello from uk 7 C

[@MrFab189]

Should i buy the reloop or numark with a jessy fader, no mony for platter or tonarm or is it useless with the standard parts? Please answer

[@mcdizzle3487]

Quick question . What portable speaker works best ? The one I got battery dies fast .

[@philipptietz]

hey guys thanks for the video!! Just one question : Can you say something about the pitch so I read you cant really rely on the pitch adjustment for newmark and the reloop but what about the omni? Iam thinkin about getting 2 of them to get a nice set up to play in the park. Regards Philipp

[@DrinkingBleachOnTheBeach]

I know it’s been 3 years but what is th white turntable in the back called

[@judojustim]

Can you scratch 12 inchers on these? And can you play records with the covers on?

[@theanorakchannel2496]

Hi, I am looking for a portable turntable, I don’t do scratching. However I do need the improved sound quality that you get with the new Mark, the only one I listen to, compare to some of the rubbish suitcase players. I also need to be able to use it on batteries. I buy and sell records record fairs, and having something to demonstrate with would be great. Which of the three would be best for that sort of thing? I’m in the UK if that makes any difference. I don’t think the model number of the Omni was stated in the video, I may have missed it.

[@yoannp.8511]

Hi, can i put an innofader in omni ?

[@anewtraditionmusic]

Can you use all of them with serato? Or just the Numark?

[@Crftbt]

What is that silver metal thing on top of the records on the Numark and Omni?

[@tiredassasin]

They look like the Syd Def Jam 7" 45 adaptor

[@stanandes7693]

does it okay to play 12 inch vinyl on that reloop? like if I don’t wanna do some scratch and just wanna play my vinyl on it. Thanks

[@monsterrobot]

you can play 12" vinyl on all 3 turnies

[@stanandes7693]

Monster Robot Record Store thanks i ordered reloop. gonna learn to scratch

[@space6712]

I’m still a noob to these turntables, but what’s that piece on top of the vinyls?

[@monsterrobot]

it's a 45 adaptor and stabilzer weight, it keeps the record stable, reducing needle skips and for "large hole" 7" records there is a rubber seal around the edge that makes the record more stable. a not essential but pretty useful accessory, there's a bunch of different ones out there these are the syd def jam adapters which we highly recommend, can purchase here syd-def-jam.myshopify.com/

[@space6712]

Thanks for the info. What’s the major difference between the original and the mini version? And which ones are you using in the video? Original or mini?

[@monsterrobot]

sorry i don't get what you mean, original vs mini version of what?

[@space6712]

On the link you provided, it says that they’re out of the “original” and only the “mini” is available... I’m not sure what they meant by that.

[@monsterrobot]

oh right, the adaptors, those are the 'original' size, i actually don't know what the mini ones look like

[@bvsk111]

im sold

[@rydermakesbeats4677]

So in summary, which-one would be best for scratching n sampling?

[@Salamantine]

none of them apparently 🤣

[@FuntClaps101]

Can you record Omni and reloop directly into a DAW? Via either USB or Line?

[@Salamantine]

can you google it?

[@philosophy4242]

Reloop Spin or Stanton STX

[@Lunchdeptment]

Dope review boys!! Very informative...how do I get my hands on some of those cool stickers? ✌🏽

[@vivaansoren7904]

i realize Im kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released movies online?

[@sincerejaxton3196]

@Vivaan Soren Try flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@simonkash6571]

@Sincere Jaxton yup, have been using flixzone for months myself :D

[@vivaansoren7904]

@Sincere Jaxton Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!

[@sincerejaxton3196]

@Vivaan Soren glad I could help =)

[@beatprocess]

where did you get center weight?

[@TheLovedbyJesus]

What mixer is that? 4:03

[@extraordinaryrap]

What are those weight things they put on the middle knob thing? Do they make skipping less likely? What are they called?

[@Soggy666]

It's an adapter-some 7's have the middles removed

[@extraordinaryrap]

@@Soggy666 no taint - it's called a record weight

[@fax7451]

Hi brother, thanks for your video. But I still have a question, which is do you think this reloop spin turntable is enough for sampling 12 inch record? I searched all of the internet but I can not find the answer

[@monsterrobot]

honestly if you wanna sample i'd go with a 1200 and a decent phono pre and cart, these are for the portable scratch scene

[@fax7451]

Monster Robot Record Store Hi thanks for the reply, but I don’t know what 1200 represent? Which brand? Could you please make it more clear so that I can search it on the internet?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@monsterrobot]

@@fax7451 the technics SL 1200 mk 2. now out of production but you can easily pick one up 2nd hand. the gold standard of DJ turntables for 40 years or so

[@fax7451]

Monster Robot Record Store Hi thanks bro！I will look it now!

[@diyz-1527]

Where we can buy omni? I can't find a website who sell it (I'm french :)

[@serkitk3169]

same

[@yoannp.8511]

trouver sur scratchbreak.com

[@sujanmj7749]

Can you record your session on Omni ?

[@monsterrobot]

don't think so it powers off usb-c but there's no usb-record option like the reloop afaik, you can record off the line out tho, there maybe be an option with the dvs, but would depend on the individual software which is still fairly limited atm (iOS and maybe PC, no mac or android at this point)

[@M3_86]

Looking to get back onto it and wow things have come a long way. Looks like the Omni is the way to go. Only care about sharp cuts lol How is the torque compared to standard tables?

[@nickolasmccombe1]

All three belt I know that numark has a belt mod.

[@mcdizzle3487]

Omni seems dope more pitch

[@darkknigth2381]

What do you think is number 1?

[@monsterrobot]

personal preference, there's lot to like about all of them, omni represents best value for money out of the box but a fully modded PT01 is pretty nice

[@klausgrojohann3309]

Look at Coturn Turntable: A new dimension

[@Jagilsdorf]

You can't scratch on that. It is cool though.

[@GRBuy]

Hello everyone! I would like to return to turntablism. Not for a career, just a home hobby. Can anyone comment on Stnanton STX?

What a ramble, could not understand much.

I understand fuck all, especially with my adhd lmao. Still I appreciate the content and what not.. plus the dude is active and responded to lots of comments so thats really nice :) Any way time to get back to my Pt01 cuz im terrible at this scratch game… nowhere near needing mods and upgrades yet lol

[@Pod-e4m]

Not a hobby for the poor? how ironic!

Er what did you say? Shame about the mumbling, come on guys this is supposed to be an informative video. Try and speak slowly and clearly and I’m sure I’d learn a load.
