Re: (313) slightly OT - suspended DJ tables

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

Ah, that would be the trick in preventing the dramatic swinging - anchor
line to the floor. If I get the chance I'll make that suggestion to the
manager.

I did notice that even with the swinging the needles didn't skip - which
surprised me (happily).

thanks for that info

at a jungle night in pittsburgh back about 6 years ago, they used
to suspend the tables with wires while at the same time anchoring
them to the stage as well. i never spun on it, but a ton of
deejays did and they never seemed to have any troubles and the
needles NEVER skipped even from the huge jungle bass.
