Despite having crates and crates of vinyl, I am too lazy (and too strapped for space) to shell out for a USB turntable. Another reason is that most of them look like shite. But this one, the Vestax Guber CM-02, is gorgeous. Delishy-wishy. It totally poops on last week’s non-usb, acrylic home-made versions (sorry Mike) and, oh, I’ve got a warm feeling this Friday morning and am going to think about that weekend I’ll spend converting all my old 12″ into files when I buy this. DJ Deals has it for IS$499, but our buds over the pond at Gizmodo Japan say it’s on for US$233. [Gizmodo Japan through Google Translate]
Here’s what you do if you think your Vestax mixer looks dull as day-old dog doo: mod it. One of the guys from DJ Tech Tools swapped his boring old black knobs for arcade game buttons. How-to video is after the jump.
