OK, not learning my lesson the first time; the Mac Vs PC of the DJ world...
for those people who mix using a combination of pitch and mere digits
(but touch their records enough to make pitch-only near impossible), and
who have used them for an extended period of time; do the vestax cause
any significant problems due to the fact that they don't slow down much
when touched (i.e. 'cause you can't use the edge of the plate / spindle)?
Again I don't know exactly how the new decks feel but I have no problem
with the old vestax, I use spindle and plate edge *and* pitch. All works
fine. Pitch controlling with vesax is easier, pitch fader is quite
resistant and has a real fluid motion.
The only problem with touching the plate edge is the little dimples

You touch it and the record slows down with a 'wobbly' sound, technics
have the little circles which makes for a much smoother slow down.
Hope this helps
