Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ?

Built-in phono? They got to be kidding me.

I mentioned Pear Audio because these tables and arms are in fact a reincarnation and continuation of Tom Fletcher of Nottingham Analogue design ideas. They get good press too, and prices appear to be quite low for now.
I too wouldn't spend much on any new brand table, Pear Audio could be an exception if I got a good impression of the owner and their support team.

Yeah, probably. And I am not saying that it can't be made to sound more or less entry level decent.

And what cartridge do you use with it, Ralph?

Anyway, why should we not all run and get those Technics' ?
What are the disadvantages, in other words? Do they sound dynamic but somewhat 'stupid' ?

Anvil looks good to my eye. I think, they make just one model.
