Mojaxx has returned with another portablism review, this time looking at the Scratch Toys Sound Plate for the Numark PT01 Scratch.

The easy-to-install upgrade adds Bluetooth support, a micro SD port, and an FM tuner to the leading portable turntable on the market. “It transforms the Numark PT01 Scratch into a totally different device,” Mojaxx says. “I absolutely love this product.”

He also looks at DC 5V to DC 12V converter cables, which enable DJs to run their PT01 off of a UBS power bank.

Portablism

Portablists are known for developing elaborate modifications for their turntables. However, there are companies that make more accessible solutions.

Hungary-based Bihari Designs is one of them. Their modifications for the Numark PT01 turntable can be fitted, without soldering, by anyone who can hold a screwdriver.

Mojaxx reviews their full range of products on this week’s Tips and Tricks episode. He also looks at a simple but effective platter stabilizer from Stokyo.
