About the Vestax Handy Trax Portable Turntable
A complete all-in-one portable turntable, the HandyTrax is cool, easy to use and can play at 3 speeds (33.33, 45 and 78rpm) --- it also has an built-in speaker letting you audition vinyl anywhere, or get the party moving out on the road. The dynamic balanced tone arm is durable, and strong enough for aggressive field use. With HandyTrax, Vestax has redefined the portable turntable, which makes a great addition to any DJ’s tool kit.
Vestax Handy Trax Portable Turntable Reviews
Feature:
I have a MAJOR gripe about this portable - the "ON/OFF" switch is located on the outside of the case, and is almost impossible to guard against accidentally turning on. Because of the positioning of the tone arm when you have the unit packed up, whenever you switch the unit on, the turntable starts spinning! The only way I have found to combat this is to take out a battery whenever I'm done using it. Also, I would have liked to have a 1/4 inch headphone jack. I will be writing a letter to Vestax, for whatever that's worth.
Quality:
I take mine out once or twice a week, and though I try not to bang it around, it does get shaken up a bit. I do worry about the plastic case cracking - perhaps they could have made it sturdier but that would have added to the weight...
Value:
Seeing as how it's the only new, easily accessible portable on the market, we don't have much choice. But considering the size, weight, seemingly cheap plastic, and the major design flaw I have cited above, I think this thing is overpriced by about 30%.
Desirability:
If you dig, you have to have a portable! But if you dig, you also need a portable that won't be accidently turned on so you have no battery power at the record show.
Sound:
No complaints about the sound.
Support:
Haven't had any issues; I'll give Vestax the benefit of a doubt.
