Couldnt have said it better myself

I would have never thought my question about reverse would bring on a whole debate on the better turntable. Hahahaha, every thread gets hijacked with that.

Son of a bitch! 45 pounds for one reverse module? Ouch.

EDIT: BTW, sorry for the consecutive posts.... didn't try the link till I had already posted the first one.

- that includes full blue led conversion kit too.

Hey, I dunno if the feature was either absent or I was too ignorant to notice it, but I don't recall seeing any button or anything that could make my old Techs 1200 MKII's play in reverse... Could someone please enlighten me on that? How can you play reverse on Techs? Do the newer models have a special button for that?

No, the newer models do not. What I was talking about at the beginning of this thread is that there is a chip available which plugs in the circuitry of the start/stop button which allows you to tap the button twice and it will play the records in reverse. Unfortunately, every kit I have seen is packaged with the LED conversion kits and are way overpriced for that feature. I would definitely buy it if it was cheaper though. You can do some really cool things with the reverse.

If you don't wanna rip apart your decks, you can always use the ghetto old school reverse trick w/ a roll of tape.

And what's that?

Originally posted by dj prometheus All the wacky turntables are like that.If they would work on quality instead of features they just might oust techs.Instead they put mass features no one would use and make the motors the same as thier shitty lower down table.I would never buy a top of the line numark or vestax or gemini table for that reason

i would agree with the gemini comment, but i have to disagree with the numark and vestax comment. the numark tt-x1's are not shit at all, they are not my favorite deck and i prefer technics to them, but they are not as bad as you make out

and the vestax are just plain better than techs, (IMO) the motor is better, you know it..

i could go on all day banging on about how much better the pdx2000's are, but that would be thread-jacking even more than we already have
