In regards to the link that distinctive posted about the M3D by a guy named "Adam". The guy that wrote that review must have a good idea what his small intestine smells like because he has his head far up his ***. I think he just made stuff up....Refering to this line
>>>Where Technics really messed up, in my opinion, was in changing the motor. Or maybe they didn't change the motor but had to alter something when changing the pitch control, but whatever the change, there's obviously less torque when adjusting the pitch. What does this mean? There's a lag time between when you move the slider and when the platter catches up.<<<
There is definately not a different motor and also there is no difference in lag time between the MK2 pitch control and the M3D pitch control (I do have both). In fact, a lot of people are getting the M3D part (the pitch slider without perfect 0) and installing them in their MK2. I'm only writing this response to that review because I would hate for someone to alter their decision to get the MK2 instead of the M3D because of that review. They are both kick *** turntables and are the same in every regard with exception to a couple minor add ons with the M3D.
