yo Chaseboogie that was a very colorful post you dropped on us there, I had to read it about 3 times to sort of understand what you were on about, but its all good man.
I feel your pain on the dissatisfaction you feel with your ADJ purchase. Believe me I went through the same annoying process as you did only to learn I could of saved that money and bought a different brand.
My basic criteria for a good deck was reliability and performance. ADJ failed in both of those. I basically traded up to a different manufacturer, one that I am EXTREMELY happy with coming from a vinyl/Techn1cs background. (If you wanna know more, send me a private message).
The lesson I learned from this is that ADJ make good value decks but they are not the best! Generally speaking you basically get what you pay for. Good luck man.
ROQ out.
