Agreed, the Techs do have good servics support, and so do vestax but I know what you mean vestax changing designs every year. I have spoken to them a they said they have no plans to cahnge the design of the new pdx2000 for the next couple of years at least. All I'm saying is that some people on this site were advising that technics is the only way to go simply because 95% of DJ's use them. This mentality does not progress the technology or the scence as a whole. As for those functions of the reverse mode you can get a kit that is very simple to install (double click on the start/stop makes it reverse) and it has nice blue lights istead of the red. This aside the whole point I'm trying to make is that the vestax are in theory a superior deck, and that only the test of time will dictate whether the "improvements" of the pdx2000 over 1200's are worth the sacrifice of having a deck that lasts 20 years.

My vote is for Technics......ABSOLUTELY!!

RANN, vestax might the superior deck - on paper. Once it gets in a DJ booth, nobody cares about numbers on the spec sheets, the only important thing is the way the deck feels.
I have played on the PDX2000 on several occasions and my impression is that the deck is a joke. It doesn't behave the way I would like it to behave (whereas technics does).

Just because the PDX2000 is newer doesn't mean it's better by any means and the argument about not progressing the technology is laughable ... if you want to be a techie then play CDs.

TECHNICS...TECHNICS....TECHNICS.....TECHNICS.....TECHNICS....TECHNICS.......TECHNICS...TECHNICS...TECHNICS....TECHNICS...TECHNICS........
ABSOFUCKINLUTELY!! Like I mentioned in another thread, I've had mine for about 20 years now and they work just as good as the day I bought them. treat them right and they'll last forever.

TECHNICS ALL THE WAY!!!!>....they set the standard everyone else is trying to follow them ...so why not go with the brand that created it the whole DJ turntable!!=)

I have 2 / 1200 mk2s in my set up ...and i wouldnt trade them at all for any other deck..some say M3ds or the Vestax are better ..but I dont care Techs 1200 mk2 are still what you all need awsome craftsmanshift and thats all what i need..... my uncle used them back in 1983 and i use them now..... so i saw stick with the name that had over 20 years to back there claims up

today i checked out the vestax. WOW!!!! I am so damn suprised by the perfomance. It seems like its much better than Technics. I am still shocked to see how good they are! Another thing vestax have better start speed then technics. Technics i know they are industry standard but i still dont know what to buy. I really like the vestax, but not much clubs use vestax. I want to spin at clubs. So what i need some help. I am gonna buy my new tables on the 16th of june. So i need to make sure what should i get! Thanks amit

F.. Vestax !!! Get Technics for sure !
Sasha won 2 Vestax TT's ... the next day he threw them in his pool...................don't ask

dude how do u know? I dont know man! i think they are pretty tight! I am thinking about getting them but i am 30% sure!

The PDX-2000 is a solid turntable and is on the same level of performance as the Technics 1200's. If you can get a good deal on a pair of Vestax, I would not hesitate to buy them. At the same price howver, I lean twords the Technics. Technics are the defacto standard for clubs as everyone has already pointed out, and the main advantages of the vestax don't benefit a trance DJ too much.

amit: how old are you?

i am 16... turning 17 on june 14th. Yeh so i am getting new tables on the 16th. i don't like the tables that i have right now! ummm i will guess that i would go towards technics. I like them but i am not sure yet. I will be like in couple of days. Even if i get vestax would that effect me if i spin at clubs which have technic turntables? come on how hard could it be to beat match with them? I find it really easy to beat match with any turntable. Its just you have to get some crappy direct drives. So any one can give me some good advice that would be great. thanks TA's for all the posts that you have made
