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.

rich, psychic (in case you haven't already noticed) is the resident direct-drive (kab) zealot, chipping away at the belt-drive dogma for many a moon now, and now complemented by johnnantais, idler wheel demi-god for an honest-to-god two pronged attack. his persistence is admirable, and his postings are pretty damn amusing to boot. i suspect that when not listening to vinyl or surfing the philippine basket trick websites, he's lurking here looking to place a strategic zinger.
