I had reservations about this turntable given the mixed reviews of the earlier LP120 model however decided to take a gamble on a pair of these and I'm glad I did. I mix trance so normally do longer transitions between tracks and have to say they hold their pitch brilliantly and the pitch is nice and accurate. The torque is more than adequate for this kind of mixing and I'm sure there's plenty for scratching etc. Sound quality is brilliant. Build standard is solid with some nice finishes. I've had Techs in the past and the build quality of some features is understandably lacking in comparison but performance is very respectable. I'd definitely recommend these for the price!
