Thanks, but any idea what a digital pitch fader actually means as opposed to (what I can only assume is an analogue) pitch fader in the MK5s? For instance, is it more reliable that when you have it at +2% that the turntable will be rotating at exactly +2%? If anybody knows of course - I just curious if there was a difference in build from the 5's to the 5G's. Pitch fader has gone on my second MK5 in the space of a month - got in touch with the store where I purchased, and they cannot offer me a brand new replacement unit as production of the MK5 has apparently ceased (though it is not yet official, allegedly)
