Next thing you know people will start complaining of platterburn on their fingers
Just think... one day DJ's will be recognized by their calluses and fingerless hands |

which are next to pointless and make manipulation harder. |

| yeah at least the numarks have the lines, wich are a little easier (i admit, not as good as the tech dots) |

| Hey...maybe gemini is taking it a step farther and making wicked decks :) I'd definately buy them if someone bought them, or they had them at guitar center and I were to test them :D |

which are you saying are pointless? the dots, or those big ass crater indentations... ??? I'm confused... |

the dots on a technics deck are next to useless. the only use they have is to make sure your pitch fader is 100% on where it should be, but they make life more difficult if you want to use the platter to slow a track down, when compared to the niceness of a ttx1, pdx2000 or these gemini's. |

when i phase two records that are not at 0% i use the dots to get a idea of how fast each deck is spinning. |

Use the dots to check if the motor is wearing out, and I've never had any problems with manipulating the deck. |

Thats what I was thinking. Those huge craters, man you get your finger stuck in one of those and you can kiss it goodbye.. :haha: |

why? who cares how fast the platter is spinning so long as it holds pitch (which it does) and the record is at the right speed (which it should be) :)
if you compared the platter on a tech to the platter on another high torque deck (for the sake of argument, my pdx2000) you will find it much easier to get a precise adjustment using the platter on the pdx's because they havent got such a rough surface and thus less friction + even surface = more control.
if you used one of these gemini decks, the same would be true. those dints are very smooth and are made for manipulation, unlike the dots on a tech. |
