    not very well, which is why its better for me to have a bit of structure in my sets.

    here is a simple numerical model of how i determine if i want a product:

    F(x,y) = Ux (x) + Ui (y)

    where Ux and Ui > 0

    and X and Y are all real numbers, as relative measurements of my own preferences against my own unique wants and needs

    a value of the dependent variable, in this case F(x,y), that is >0 means that i would consider owning the product.

    that being said, The variable Y in the Ux portion is a number that is so negative number that the resulting function is <0, resulting in me not considering the product.

    As you can see, there are several objective shortcomings with this thing that were apparent to other users (add maybe size, lack of serato flip controls, etc...). But coming up with this

    people buy things based on how they look at the time, im not sure why youre trying to guilt trip me into not liking the lights around the platters. its the balance of Ui and Ux, and my simple numerical model shows how objective these preferences are.

    Without the "Other Half" variable in your equation, you soon might be

    Derailed? ... never.

    Back on topic though, I do hope there is an inverse switch on the LED ring, its just wayyyy too in your face for my liking.

    This thing is apparently in stores now, I've noticed Denon has released the updated Engine 1.5 software on their website.
