wrxfiend Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Vestax Update: Rebuilding The Brand + Company in 2015POSTED BY DAN WHITE ON DECEMBER 19, 20142 CommentsWe wrote earlier this week about the official declaration of bankruptcy that Vestax is going through in Japan, but now there’s reason to believe that the brand won’t fizzle out or even get sold. The US distributor for Vestax, Mixware, sent over a new update from the Vestax team in Japan.“The bankruptcy procedure was a necessary first step into the rebuilding of Vestax Japan and Vestax brand. Measures, engineering team, new product designs and financial support are already in place to support the rebuilding process and more information will be published by Vestax Japan during the course of the first semester 2015.”This is great news for fans of the company’s mixers, turntables, and controllers – but going bankrupt is often a long and consuming process for companies, as acknowledged in the second half of the update:“This process will definitely take some time before the first new Vestax products reach the worldwide markets but we’re confident that once again under the leadership of its original founders, Vestax will soon reemerge as a strong innovative brand as it has always been.”Note the mention of “leadership of its original founders” – this would indicate that a sale or complete change in ownership is not in the plans.Keep your eyes on DJTT – we’ll keep you updated as the Vestax bankruptcy story continues to slowly unfold.

LabRat Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 interesting....anyone tried the new pioneer turnie?a dj i know here said they were good, but he mixes house (old school chicago).i've used it a few times. as bland as this may sound, it falls in between the technics and the stantons. it has more torque than the techs but less torque than the stantons. that's basically the short story lol it comes down to what you prefer at the end of the day. i like the pioneers better than the technics Quote
wrxfiend Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 interesting....anyone tried the new pioneer turnie?a dj i know here said they were good, but he mixes house (old school chicago).I've heard from a few sources that have had teething problems with the first run, 2 had to go for repair as the end of the tone arm was not manufactured properly and it bends the pins on your cartridge when you try to lock them in????i was also a bit suss on the amount of platter wobble when i had a raz on them at storedji love the 3 pin kettle cord connector and the gold rcas tho. and who doesnt like pretty blue lights lol!still think i'll wait to see if these are still produced over the next few years before i shell out for that name i'm not too fond of (remnant of working in car audio, Pioneer is shite!) lol Quote
