well to each there own i guess.....i have wanted to post this movie for some time now and this seems like a good time too after seeing this post from dave clark..... here is a side by side comparison with the technics, denon, pioneer......seems like the technics are not all they are cracked up to be.....i personally would buy the denon, cause of more options and its cheaper, but the technics is built well........ after seeing this video, i won't buy the technics till they fix it.....
