| since im probably going tomorrow to get 2 of those, i want to ask ppl who got those if the pitch notch click at 0% is made a problem for you somehow ??? |

| it's not really a "problem" it can just bother you a bit sometimes. you get used to it after a while though. i think even though no click is more comfortable, it's better to have one, that way you get used to it and never have trouble when running into one... |

| It would be better without it but it can be worked around...if you're getting a good deal on those mk2's I say go with them. |

hellz yeah...
i have pretty old & used mk2s so on one of my dex, near the 0 mark it REALLY wavers. so much so that i cannot leave the track near there and i dont' dare try to mix it.
i have to always move the pitch of the other track if this track on this deck seems to want to be between the 1%s.
sux
wish i had the mk3s. |

No problems here.
Hey dknylady, why don't you just buy new pitch controls, you could buy the m3d ones and have them put in. |

| Where can you get these? And would it be simple to install yourself? I alleviate the pitch lock problem the same way DKNYlady does. I find that the pitch increments get wider in between +-1% so it's not possible to get the same bpm as the other tracks. Luckily i got an m3d on the other side so I'm free to adjust the m3d when i get the mk2's speed as close as possible. |

I dunno where you could find it, but I think most DJ places could get it if they don't have it already, as far as I'm aware, it you can install it yourself, just requires some soldering I think, but what your looking for is this:

You can get it much cheaper though. |

whoops i meant i want mk5 s. damn my brain is messed up right now after finals.
anyway i have thought of doing this , and i really need to, but i've been lazy.
besides there is no way that i could install it myself, i don't care if you come to my house and show me, it ain't gonna happen. i can barely change a lightbulb.
you can get cheaper technics parts at the pioneer site, since pioneer owns technics.
for now i guess i'll continue to suffer. :( |

if I find a record has to be pitched right around zero I just pitch the active track up a little. that doesn't bother me.
other than that, I remember seeing a web site where they sold the entire pitch slider unit, so you didn't have to solder it in...I forget where though, search this forum and u might be able to find it. |

| I actually PREFER the click being there... I have old and used MK2s, and I don't have any problems with the click/pitch speed at all. |

Pioneer electronics and technics are two seperate companys. Technics is a branch of Matsua whom owns panasonic as well. |
