Good Direct Drives


So I still keep thinking upgrading my current, Awia/Rega plinth/motor with debut arm and Ortofon cart turntable but after owning many years ago a few SL1200 and SL1210 MK2 and Mk5 I am hankering after a change in TT

But not sure what old model Technics or Pioneer to go for. Unless someone else can suggest another DD of this type etc

Thanks

There are a number tests of the Technics 1200 online.  I don't know of any that agree with your statement.

Here is one:

Personally, I have listened very closely to my 1200 and don't hear anything of the sort.  YMMV...
Where can I find a working Technics SP 10 MK II with arm and plinth for under $1200 in the US?

It was a rhetorical question but I largely agree with you.
I might feel differently if there were someone nearby who sold refurbished SP 10s and would stand by them if problems arose.
