Agreed it's harder to mix on pitched tables, but I've never seen any intensified 'dipping + diving' after switching back and forth. I've heard this is the case many times, but I must've switched mine at least twenty times, and the stobes bear no inexactitude. They're very close to the +3.33 and +6 marks. Maybe I'm just lucky? These turntables are 8 years old too, so go figure. > also - if you need to play records in the same set that are 117bpm and > 150 bpm, play longer sets and build your set, and buy enough records to > build the set from 117bpm to 150bpm. that's the right way. It's definitely not the best way to do it, but I can't say I'd never do it again. I really like to play those Theo Parrish records and they don't get played out much unless I have +/-16 (or 15 if you rather). Of course, my solution should just be to get the Vestax, no?
