I'm really happy with the way it plays. Sounds very nice. I have had a DX for about 20 yrs and always had problems with it. It would play some cylinders but wouldn't play others at all. On the ones that it would play, it didn't play those very well. I thought it was probably a worn stylus. I just put it away and figured some day I would get it looked at. Anyway, I got it out not long ago and found the problem was the back hinge part was frozen in place. Got it loosened up and it plays beautifully. Sometimes it really is something simple. YAY! :D
