We all know that Technics turntables are the industry standard. In radio stations, bars, clubs and homes up and down the land Technics are the choice that most people make when selection a turntable. At one point, however, Vestax were challenging Technics to their crown. The PDX-8000 was one of their flagship products and was the one that was a direct threat to the Technics SL1210.
There are a few functions of this turntable that make it stand out from the rest:
1 - The LED display. As far as I am aware, this was one of the first turntables to have an LED display built in. The screen shows you what the current pitch range is (this can be set to -3 to +3, -6 to +6 or -12 to +12), it also displays the current pitch.

Advantages: Top Quality, first class frame Disadvantages: a few cheap components
Deore XT groupset. This comprised of the front and rear derailleurs, rear hub and crank set. For some strange reason Trek slipped a little and fitted Deore LX rapid fire shifters / brake leavers.

Advantages: Few extra features. Disadvantages: Not enough extra features.
Remember when a DVD player was just something you shoved a disk in, and it played it (how boring's that?). To compete with the ever expanding market, DVD players are having to multitask more and more. This one seems to be having a go at multitasking but it's as if it's heart isn't really in it.
Look and Design
Basic is the word. A traditional black look more resembling a video player than a DVD player with nothing flashy or shiny to entertain the easily amused. It's a bit on the bulky side, just like Gordon Brown, (Don't ask me where that joke came from, I have no idea). But then the extra bulk is necessary, unlike Gordon Brown's, in order to incorporate the VHS player.
Function
We'll it works like any other DVD player, you put a disk in and it plays it. The picture is pretty good by the way. But it ...
