    That's bullshit people are saying. Hanpin makes all of them except Technics and Numarks. You can get basically the same thing ("super OEM" it's called) for less than 2 or 3 hundred bucks a TT if you buy one of the other brandings of the Hanpins. The Audio Technica is the Hanpin 5500, which was originally the American Audio htd4.5. Pioneer and Stantons are just a different body and look with the same basic tonearm design and motor.

    The CDJ-350 is not linkable. Each needs their own media. Higher-end Pioneer media players and the Hanpins digital media players (Reloop, American Audio, DJ Tech, Stanton, Akiyama, Omnitronic, etc) are all linkable.

    I'd recommend two Reloop RMP-3 or 4s, or two American Audio Radius 3000 (or whatever brands Hanpin stuff in your country is sold as), and two Epsilon 1300s (or your respective Hanpin brand there). If you have the money, CDJ-900, XDJ-1000, or other higher end Pioneers are nice if you're stuck on that brand. People on here also like the XDJ-700. Pioneers are more money than the Hanpins, though, and not necessarily as vinyl-feeling as they could be. Very reliable, though. Their vinyl TTs, though, are way overpriced.

    Not sure where the video is anymore on YouTube of the tear down in the second link.

    If you found something different, you should make a video yourself.
