I have mentioned that the Numark TTX, TT-500 and the new Denon V12 are good decks, well made and they are modern decks. Comprehend Mr. Newbie... comprehend what you read.

I am not a fan of the Numark tonearm in S form, having owned five of them, and the new Denon DJ vinyl decks are a letdown. I'm shocked InMusic actually released the VL12 with as many issues as it has. Problems with their speed regulation system on some units. Huge deadzone on the pitch fader center and ends, and no center LED light.
Not a big fan of the Technics 1200mk2 except if it's mint and for hifi purposes. Not a fan of the 1200 stock isolation feet until the most recent units. The earlier spring-loaded ones are awful. Those S/N ratio and rumble specs on the old Technics are a joke. Their speed regulation, assuming you are on a good-condition unit that hasn't been too abused or modded by a moron, is at least slightly better than any other DJ decks I've come across.
The last two or three Technics models (includes the reboot) are excellent decks, but pricey. They also have the wider pitch ranges I want.
Apparently the Super OEMs are not even an original Taiwanese design but are licensed by Hanpin from some company in Germany. They have a distinctly different speed regulation system to the Technics, so it's basically just the tonearm and the layout that's a copy of Technics, and the layout, until just recently, tended to deviate quite a bit. Interesting that Stanton and Pioneer have chosen to sort of regress in that last regard.
I'd also like to add that occassionally you can find Super OEMs for like near US$100 a pop. A lot of value for your money. If you can splurge for the newer models of 1200s, though, they are really great.
They dropped the ball on the whole tonearm assembly period.
You can't even adjust it to be level. It's close enough, but for your flagship products, it should have been better.
But the number of US Supreme Court judges was always 6.
Then it was 5, then 6, then 7, then 9, then 10, then 7, and then 9.
Yeah, the height thing's weird. I did get around it with a turntable mat, then a slippery plastic sheet, and then a butter rug. Alternatively, you can just put washers between the cartridge and the headshell.
