As a former DDX1000 owner one of the great sonic upgrades in my system was replacing the DX1000 with an LP12. The DDX1000 was easily the best looking and worst sounding high end turntable I have ever owned. As mentioned above it was extremely feedback/vibration sensitive the issue being that it lacked both mass and an effective suspension. Most likely today an isolation platform would be helpful but it also had a tendency to speed drift that was easy to see with the giant strobe marks cut into the platter.
I will say that it was an attention getter and I loved the ability to mount multiple tonearms & Cartridges (I had a Grace 707 and Black Widow)but it all comes back to the sound and it was severly lacking in that area.
