Honestly haven't messed with it too much because my sound system is shit and will probably remain so until I move out of my apartment and into a house. Someday...
Not sure that I have a dream turntable though because I still feel pretty ignorant on the whole thing despite all the research I tried to do before buying this one to replace my random Craigslist-purchased turntable from before.

I used to have a full setup but sold all that when I moved. Just don't have the space.
So now I have a Numark PT01 Scratch and I put a Jesse Dean fader in it. I have one of the 7" Visual Vinyls but need to get some other good scratch records.

Not as full as the vinyl, and I do notice a bit of compression (tho the 24bit rate vs. 16bit helps a lot with this). Everything still sounds good when I run the audio through one of Traktor's filters. I use AIFF because it has built-in ID3 tags.
The signal chain I have for playing vinyl is all analog, and I wanted to emulate that sound without having to lug a bunch of records around. I plan on getting a controller (like a Pioneer DDJ) in the near future. Sadly, the few times I've played out in the past few years (rap show intermissions & music for performances) I used the mouse.
These Reloop decks are the great but...I don't know if my memory of Technics is true or because I haven't mixed for years but I think it was easier to work the vinyl with Technics.
I'm gonna have to play more and improve my pitch riding before I come to a definite conclusion.
