[geeks] Working Music vs Thinking Music

[Matt Braun]

Why would you need a any 12xx series turntable if you're just spinning for
listening? I have a POS Technics (purchased at a thrift shop, needle from
Best Buy) at home that is just fine for listening. Now, if you actually
want to do any mixing whatsoever, than I can see that (as a shitty amateur
DJ, I like the Technics but I've heard grudgingly decent things about
Numark as well). 

But I agree; finding really tight "bleeding edge" music on CD is
hard. Many times an excellent track I've heard on vinyl wasn't available
on CD until a year later.
