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.
The most portable Vestax to date. Built to be played anywhere, anytime. The Handy Trax's dynamic balanced tone-arm is durable enough for anywhere play at almost any angle and strong enough to resist the pressures of the modern vinyl user.
Features:
Volume Fader: Seamless control over audio output is possible thanks to the stepless volume control fader.
Pitch and Tone Control: Individually controllable pitch and tone dials combined with three speed variability make this unit incredibly flexible for its size and weight.
Line In/Out: With 1X minijack line in, 1X RCA line out and 1X minijack headphone output, the Handy Trax connects quickly and easily with almost any system allowing super fast setup with a minimum of fuss.
3 Speed: Versatile enough to handle 33-1/3, 45 and 78 RPM, the Handy Trax makes the perfect companion for scouring the basements of record stores hunting for those illusive unique and unheard tracks.
Built-in Speaker: The built-in speaker enables this unit to be played to any audience, at any time. It's the Handy(est) Vestax ever!

"Overall, worth the investment if you need a portable turntable."
Feature:
The only accessory I ordered was the 3 mil 78 needle. This does a great job with most acoustic and early electric 78s produced between 1910-1930. Later 78s, from the 40s and eary 50s sound every bit as good. The fact that the speed can be adjusted is a great plus, since many early 78s were not actually recorded at that speed.
Quality:
The plastic tonearm is rather flimsy and bows slightly when inserted into the "holder" designed to lock it in place. This could be better designed, since the plastic may eventually stress. A tonearm clip may be a better option. Also, the hard plastic turntable might scratch records. Some sort of cushion should have been used. Along this line, if the product is ever redesigned, it may also be a plus to include a storage bin for the AC adapter inside the cabinet.
Desirability:
More of a Decco design might be a plus.
Sound:
The ads I've seen claim that the built in speaker allows users to "get the party moving out on the road." Not true. In fact, you can barley hear the thing a few feet away with the volume cranked to the max. In view of the ad hype, I have rate the sound quality from the built in mono speaker very poor, especially for 78s (yes, I use the optional 3 mil 78 needle). The sound quality through standard headphones is another story. I'd rate that very good to excellent.
Support:
I've never dealt with the company, so I can't really say.

"Travelin Producer (or somebody diggin) Must Have"
Feature:
I was thinkin it could have more features, but then i thought about it, and it cant. Not without jacking up the price. It has everything you need in a small size, and semi-small price.
Quality:
I think the craftsmanship of the exterior is better then the sound quality, but this thing is still hott.
Value:
You could go get a pretty nice turntable for $149.99, but you cant carry it around with you without somebody jackin it, or somebody lookin at you strange. Its a real good price, im happy with it.
Desirability:
These things look hott!! Everybody i see diggin had a GP3. Now they all got these. Even if everybodys got it, it still looks good. And its easy to take apart and give it a custom pauint job. So it all works out.
Sound:
Built in speakers work, just arent real good. I replaced them with some old tweeters i had. They work just fine. The headphone port is great, and plus you dont really use the speakers when your diggin.
Support:
Ive been with Vestax before, there great. But you dont really need them. About the only thing that can happen to the HandyTrax is you breaking the needle, and you can replace that.
Overall:
I wouldnt change a thing.
