I had the 5000M’s after the jog version and I loved them but if I’m having my 1210’s there aswell, that’s where I’m getting my vinyl fix. It was a hard choice tho for sure, one I still think about now. Maybe I will just add one on the end
Yes that is correct. I think it was a deliberate choice. The encoder steps are about the same as the ribs of the oldstyle knob. With more ribs, you’d expect smaller ticks/steps.
I think the whole “ just like vinyl “ ship has sailed.
The “huge” resurgences of vinyl that the media shove in our faces every few years seem to be more hyped and faster to disappear each time they bubble up and even then, the surge in vinyl sails are more for the collectors / nostalgic old hat yesteryear class re-issued LPs like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Bowie etc rather than much of any trend forming in current tunes. There are some tiny exceptions, but nothing of note.
But also in DJ use, less new DJs are all that fussed about doing it the old way. Tell them that their going to lose that nice mid platter color screen that denon introduced on the 5000, by having a motor and it’s nearly always killed off the motor thoughts - much rather have a color display thanks
Everyone will have their own idea about which model is the flagship model - “most expensive” doesn’t earn the title of flagship for a 6000 if someone’s looking for fx and a built in mixer n 2 decks all in one (see prime 4) or flagship doesn’t come into it if you think you need a battery solution etc.
What’s top of the range for some will be I’d never use that costly feature , for others
Sometimes it’s better not to stick the “flagship” flag in any product, thereby forcing the public to make their own mind up by actually reading the spec sheets rather than guessing what “of course it will, probably” features are “bound” to be on each great model.
LOL how do you have the heart to only unpack one?! that’s like saying only a little foreplay today and sex tomorrow LMAO Im obviously joking, looks great and have fun.
The Prime 2 and Prime 4 if comparing to the SC with X mixer setup. All a matter of prospective. I say that not to put those products down but more from the perspective of capabilities. May not be much of a difference but some at least.
No doubt the whole prime family is better than any other product out there right now. Love the direction Denon is headed.
