2. Blue L.E.D's everyway lights are!
3. Still no dips in the '0' pitch.
AND,FINALLY!!!! 4. Pitch range up to + /- 16 - WOW WEEEEEEE.

I think there are mk5s but i blieve that they are only a limited edition turntable going for around $1000 each. Have a look on www.1200s.com for more info

They are not limited, I had a demo model and they are the new model.
sdavies067: Everything you said is correct except one thing, you can't pitch all the way upto 16, you can only double pitch, meaning if you are at +8 and you want to goto +8.5 you can't, you would have to press the double pitch button and quickly move back to 4.25 (old scale) or 8.5 (new scale).
Just the same way the 33 and 45 button works.

you, me and hardcore forever.

am I the only one that sees this is a bit silly? I'm no bashing, but surely they could have made a bigger pitch fader or something?

Yeah i agree with atomicb just sounds really awkward and seems like it could be more annoying than useful at times.
Maybe if you played on it long enough you'd get used to it...

Well ididnt see a problem with the 8 % pitch on the old techniks. That was more than enough and its more accurate than 10 %

Using a +8% / -8% scale also allows for more accurate pitch adjustment.

They sound pretty sweet, but hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it. My M3Ds work just fine with the +-8 pitch. If they really need to change the techs, I would say put reverse on them puppies.
.... in any case, still the best turntable around IMO.

Me? I don't have that guy. Me? I always tell the truth... even when I lie.
