Still i have scratched on them and I have also scratched on vestax's. I will tell you vestax's table had little to no effect on the speed of any of my cuts. Maybe there is a chance that it might help the recovery from a flare but I still think that the only real difference would be if you stopped the table and then started it right back up. I say this because I use as little pressure on the record as is needed so that I can have a quick recovery and I rarely take my hand off of the record even when sampling(unless I am on 45). I prefer to have my fingertips barely touching the record or hovering right above it. What ind of slipmatts do you use and have you ever tried using a piece of wax paper or plastic over it that right there takes out the issue of stopping the platter. How long you been scratching?
Vestax PDX 2000 & 2300 have 2 pitch faders, one like the one on your Technics & another smaller one called an ultra pitch fader, The mornal fader is +/-10 & the ultra pitch fader is +/-50. so accuracy is not an issue coz for tweaking you use the regular fader & for more drastic whatevers you use the ultra, & it works out quite necely . Check out the vestax website.
I cant remember what make my mats are byt yeah I use wax paper under them for extra good slippiness
