Turntables: Vintage Marantz 6300 vs New NAD 533?

hi everyone, i'm new to LPs...just inherited a bunch of old records and i was wondering what would be a better turntable. i don't want to spend too much, so i was either looking at either the entry level NAD 533 vs an older Marantz model that is direct drive...

any advice for a newbie?

thanks.

will be run through a Bryston 0.4B and 4B to Paradigm Studio 60 speakers.

I would go for the NAD533. It's a Rega 2 with a wood platter and sounds great to my ears.

I also will say that a Technics 1200 is not a bad table, either. This table is not made for 'merticulous' audiophiles but 'hard-spinning' DJ and Turntablists; however sounds great and will last for a long time

Let's compromise.....take a 1200 and add an Origin Live plate and OL1....

Thoughts?
