The VL12 certainly needs a successor, since Denon DJ now doesn’t have a turntable under manufacture, and the VL12 had some poor design choices that could be improved. They could go much further, though.
Very rough rendition. Imagine this is an S-arm… or maybe TTX-style modular one:
I dislike working with 7". I have 7" vinyl and I have the DN-HS5500 players. It’s too touchy. I do prefer a moving platter, though, for both the overall feel and to keep my vinyl mixing skills sharper. So maybe I’d put up with it. Better yet, build a Prime digital and analog hybrid unit with 12" platter, a tonearm, and give us the ability to play real vinyl on it. Heck, they can even put it under the Numark branding if they want to keep these new 5000 series ones and expand the Prime-compa…

No one was stopping InMusic from doing a hybrid. And considering the grease issues on the Ms and the VL12 itself being problematic in a variety of ways, it was the obvious next step. I had threads and posts on a rough Prime hybrid way back on this forum. I’m not sure where they’re at now. Probably buried in now-hidden or archived portions of the forum. Anyway, Pulse follows this forum and has hit me up for ideas…
