Almost none of these products, save the Technics and the Dohmann, bring anything new to the table except affordable pricing. Most of those that are affordably priced are concocted of MDF, perhaps with aluminum in the platter driven by a cheap motor via a pliable belt, and an inexpensive tonearm. They are very much in the "me-too" line of thought. I realize that for those on a budget, the availability of such products is important, but it's not technically interesting.
