One thing I haven't seen, although I really haven't been looking for it, is a comparison of the PLX1000 and the GR1200. I am also curious where the Onkyo CP-1050 fits into the picture. I am curious since Onkyo and Pioneer are now the same company. Is it possible the Onkyo has all the stuff in it from the PLX1000 that appeals to domestic audio consumers without the DJ stuff? If so, it would represent a real bargain for those who don't need DJ features. But it seems the Onkyo may lack the plinth upgrades in the pioneer, and the 'arm may not be as good, either. I only know what I have read about these 'tables. I haven't heard any of them.
