Give it time.... Numark's circuitry/wiring has always been total crap in my
experience.
As you said, you bought them less than four months ago - give a year or so
before you make any judgement calls
I've owned a Numark mixer as well has one of my friends and both of them
have shoddy wiring.
My friend has his Numark mixer attached to the front of the table his
turntables are on. One day I was over at his place playing some new vinyl
for him. I bent down to pull a record out of my bag and when I came back up
my head hit the underside of the mixer. The damn thing went dead. All sound
cut out. We stood there looking at each other like "what the f*ck?" He
proceeded to hit all the kill buttons on and off, bring the volume up all
the way, test the cross-fade, etc. Nothing worked. So he did the only thing
left that there was to do - he slapped the bottom of the mixer with his
hand and - voila! the sound came back on.
My mixer had a problem with noise slowly seeping in so I sent it back to
the company since it was still under warranty. They sent it back eventually
- with all the dials stuck back on wrong, they did fix the punch-out
buttons that broke the first day I had the mixer, and stuck a new piece of
glass on the LED read out where the old one had come off (I had the mixer
for about a year only used in my living room). Well, since the biggest
problem was the noise (imagine white noise slowly coming over your records
until you couldn't really hear the music anymore), everything else was just
icing on the cake. The noise was gone for about a day and a half after I
got it back from the Numark factory repair.
Then it came back.
I'd never buy another Numark product.
I would have waited for the Technics - most people don't notice a slight
waver of pitch when they hear music on a big sound system

All of you are on this Vestax trip... Vestax are a piece of [EMAIL PROTECTED]&
Numark
TTX1 that's a whole nother story. Believe me I just bought a pair less than
4 months ago. It was a tough choice because I was going to wait and get a
pair of Technics SL-1210M5G. I have played on both and find the Numark way
tighter easier to handle and more stable on the pitch. Vestax Tables feel
like toys.
