I applaud them for being the first to bring it to market. Really kind of a cool idea if you think about it.

*Edit* it's not much in the looks department though, is it? Guess they were going for practical?

Yup, it was only a matter of time for a hybrid deck, I was expecting one for the Namm show, but I thought Numark would be the first to come out, and that Gemini would be months behind, how wrong I was, this looks to be a very promising deck, having the model name CDT-05, my guess it shares the same motor as there other high end deck, whick is a 5kg motor , if this is what Gemini is bringing out, I wonder what the BIG players have to offer.

things are starting to look promising

By Hybrid, do you mean that you can also play vinyls? if not the numark cdx already does this, even though it sucks.

EDIT
oops, I bothered to read the description again..answers my question. This looks pretty sweet.

the cdx does not play vinyl. it just has a vinyl on the platter in order to get the same feel when scratching and cueing...

i would love to see if this thing is any good, looks like fun!

good idea, but it seems a bit weird.... it will most likely cost us over $1500

I'll say more when other people get to try this

the big question is, will the pitch control be analogue when in turntable mode?

hmmm will take alot to convince me of this thing. merging the 2 pieces of kit can make for many possable things to go wrong.

and more to the point can you mix record into cd on the same deck?!?

I dunno for sure, but it sounds like this thing might ship without the tonearm, so it is like a CDX, but has the option of adding on a tonearm for vinyl playback, cos it sounds like the straight arm is an option, but it could be that it ships with a S-shaped arm instead, who knows, I think this could be a good bit of kit, Gemini is capable of making something good, and I think now there starting to do that, as for the pitch control, I think that will still be analogue, but in afew days we will know for sure.
