Gimmick Alert

Seriously, what is the point of this?
Tilting TT

A TT that tilts.
why???????????????/
Has anyone ever thought, "jeez, this flatness is really shit, I wish I could have my TTs at 36 degrees."?

Interesting Engineering exercise, but what a gimmick to actually market

It's supposedly geared towards turntablists...not sure what the advantages are...

vestax really seem to be going for it where new innovations are concerned, first the UFO deck, then the two decks and a mixer in one unit idea, now the tilting turntable.

Good luck to them i say

well..... its purdy

Come on, learn to think outside the box a little.

Just like the single unit decks this could be useful in cases of limited space.
It's not only night clubs and bedroom peeps that have the need for decks and neither is it a case of pre-club bars wanting to assign too much customer space to a DJ.

Ps
Might also be geared towards lazy people who want to lie down and DJ. There may be a 20" table coming out that you just lie underneath and then have these babies on it... Think about it.

EDIT
Had to edit this one... just realised that what I had written didn't put my point across.
Basically what I was trying to say was that these babies would be relevant if you don't have the space or want to assign too much space for a DJ.

Or you could have those babies incorporated with your spill proof mixer in you Jacuzzi... Imagine hot babes in bikinis in the DJ boo... jacuzzi
It might even become standard in clubs... If it ain't got no DJacuzzi... I don't spin there.

didnt vestax come out with that deck before the QFO and the all in one unit?

anyways, vestax and their innovative designs... looks interesting but dunno many out there who would actually pick one over a traditional TT

Space DJing.

Maybe they are just trying to save some desk space?

I just wonder how well the needle will stick to the record while cueing, scratching etc.

Posted by New Wave on Jan-02-2005 13:01:

How does the needle stay on the record?

maybe the tonarm is 100% motorized

Posted by cheesy on Jan-02-2005 22:22:

I think there's a spring that holds the tonearm down, the force depends on the angle its at.
