I think I was told a while back the DJ turntables should not be 
construed as being high fidelity. They are designed to work in either 
direction for "scratching" and there is something in the geometry that 
makes them unsuitable  for our use. Plus, a true lab device could not 
hold up to the hard use in a DJ environment. I cannot recall if it is in 
the arm design or the cartridge or both.
