Which machine?

[T-Bone]

Which stringing machine do you feel is better...The Alpha Blu DC-Plus or the Gamma 5003 and why?

Are the clamps the same for these two models?

I believe that the Alpha BLU-DC Plus compares more favorably to the more expensive Gamma 6004 than the 5003. The frame mount is similar to the 5003, but the clamps have the quick action bases like the 6004 and I like the brake mechanism much better on the Alpha machine. You can't really go wrong with any of these.

Thanks Gaines,

I already had purchased the Alpha Blu DC Plus but I was starting to second guess my decision based on reading some posts from other users.

In my area, The Blu DC Plus can be found in the chain sports stores. Your machine is good one. How is that brake working?

Hey Mike,

The turntable is rotating much more freely after I followed your advice. Thanks again for the tips.
