See if you can find an old Concept 2QD DD turntable. They were built like tanks and look great.
So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000?
Pretty much as the title says.
Have been looking for a while for a decent DD table to add to my lot.
Have bought a few lower end ones and ultimately been dissapointed.
Now I know there were/ are literally hundreds of choices from the Japanese Golden era of DD tables.
Looking for suggestions from actual owners of solid DD tables up to about $1000 .
I have read and read but nothing substitutes for real experience.
This would likely not be my primary table, my Garrard 401 has that position for now.
Thank you.

Uber, I looked at your URL on eBay. That product may be a step-UP transformer, converts 110V to 130V. Nowhere does it clearly say exactly what it does, however. Anyway, you want 100V out, not 110V, which is the low value quoted in the eBay ad. If it is a step-UP, you may be able to run it backwards, plug the "130V" input into your wall which is ca 120V and then maybe you'd get ~100V out. The ratio 130/110 would be operative. This one is the one I use, maybe under a different brand name but essentially exactly what I have:https://www.ebay.com/itm/PowerBright-Step-Up-Down-Japan-Transformer-Power-On-Off-Switch-Can-be-Used-... |
I think Uber got the right step down. there is a picture of the back of the unit with the specs saying Kashimura TI-41, 110-130v input, 110v output 120VA max.
