Direkt vs thunder vs spirit which one and why

**e_Bangs** · 04-20-2014, 01:16 PM

I'm thinking of buying a machine I was (__) close to buying a spirit then direkt came out now I'm stuck should I just stick with the stylus I had a thunder before IMO was way to strong but I would like some feed back no bashing thanks in advance!

The direkt is a rad a machine
I've used it for carts and trad setup. Very versatile. To me it's kinda like an American made hawk that you can use any setup on .Not just the hawk spendy grips. Once the swivel drive bars come out ,the direkt will be the perfect American made cart machine .

I had the same feelings about the Thunder until I did the rca conversion. Now I can get it to run like the spirit with but with the longer stroke.

The direkt is awesome since you can use traditional needles with it. Very versatile machine. I have had a spirit and used a thunder and these blow it out of the water in my opinion.

the direkt is nice because you can use as a cartridge or traditional machine...

And if the direkt motor packs up in a couple of years you can get a new motorbolt within a day for £100... And in the box 3 stroke lengths.. And you can still use carts with it i use cheyenne fix grips and carts 100% of the time but if i wanted to go back to trad set up i can use 3 bodys 1 motor for a set up wich to change body is as quick as changing carts..
