And what about the Pioneer vs Technics ? Ive not yet played on the Technics, but I can say that the Pioneer do 'touch' very different than vinyl even if they are as much easy to use as regular vinyl decks. Benoît.

I'm of the philosophy that you should never go to a gig without everything you need to plug directly into any sound system you might encounter. In my case that means I have a pair of 1/4" to XLR Male cables, so I can plug directly into the stage plug box, plus a stereo RCA cable and RCA->1/4" adap

Well, in either case: "all" manufacturers aren't going to include docking stations in all of their products as it'll increase the basic costs for users who might not need those features (many mixers don't have XLR outputs, some don't have 1/4" mono pairs, etc). The type of device you're lookin

Pacemaker and ipod DJing will soon show their limitations to you; they're quite toylike gadgets and not at all robust; I understand (for a gig use), however to me these devices are not more fragile than a laptop. I know they are gadgets but dont they fit to 'ocasionnaly' play mp3s in gigs ?

I think it's kind of down to you to decide how you do what you do. 1. If you're comfortable with records, and want to go digital, the vinyl controlling a laptop thing is fully mature. The friends I know that DJ this way seem to like Serato the best. Traktor Scratch is a lot fancier -- 4 decks! E

I agree, personally everything they released on Clone was pretty damn hot, so I doubt they were struggling in light of the vinyl recession. As it alluded to in Clones message, it was just time to kick back and focus on other things for a while. P. On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 9:22 AM, JT Stewart wrot

Hey, all you 313 hyperreal cats. Is the sound in your Cosmic Car not as Clear as you'd like to hear? Your UR039 Infiltrator not cuttin' through the audio spamiverse? Perhaps you need to upgrade to the Model 500 or X-102 series to get that boom you're looking for; there's no need to sound like you

It should be mentioned as well that on my one visit to Rotterdam, Serge and the other Clone guys made me feel very welcome. Great guys, very professional, and straight shooters. It isn't always the case that great music is made by nice people, but in this case they couldn't be nicer.

Nice words, gracefully put. Nobody wants to read another embittered tirade about the collapse of the market for vinyl and for paid music in general, even if it's painfully correct. Still, I doubt I'm alone in suspecting that it's indeed the already poor environment for music sales, exacerbated by
