I'm assuming that you are refering to turntables.  I've noticed this also, 
but never on the same turntable.  My 1200's stop immediately, while those
at the club that I work wind down slowly.  Perhaps it has something to do
with the age of the unit (i.e., when it was manufactured)?

In a related subject, does anyone know how to disengage the quartz lock on
the pitch control?  I have heard that it makes DJ mixing a lot easier.
Does anyone have any comments regarding this?
