I was asked by a friend of mine to help him sort out his mobile setup yesterday. And as he takes every opertunity to rub my face in his very impressive set up, I thought i would get some revenge.
After sorting out his amp problem and getting his system up to around 4k I decided to break out the tcv's and show him what was what.
He was mightily impressed for around 2 minutes, until all the sound quality went to shit, it was so bad i couldn't make out the track.
So I tried a normal vinyl and everything was perfect.
I was using my laptop and my soundcard, the only difference was his TT's (vestax sexiness)
I gave it a quick reboot and all seemed well for about 30 seconds.
same problem.
while I know it works fine on my system, I didnt see any reason it shouldn't work on his as the only difference were the turntables. Which shouldnt cause a problem should it?
So in short, after blowing smoke about how superior VDJ is over carrying around 4 bags of vinyl and telling him this would kick hiss set up's ass, I was left laughed at and starting to agree with him.
How am I supposed to have confidence in VDJ if so far i can only get it to work at home? What happens when I get gigs at places I have to use there turntables?

I would agree with spinnaJ,
The carts are very important when it comes to using TCV's.
