If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ...
Let's say one that cost less than $3K, with cartridge, what would you look at? I'd been thinking about a Technics SL-1200GR, but they seem no longer to be available. Which has led me to the Thorens 403, the Music Hall Stealth, and ...?
Please do help.
Unless, that is, I end up getting a Rega and stick with belt drive.
Thanks for indulging me on my quest, as I'm old and don't have limitless funds.

Chakster mentioned the Luxman PD444, it is a great looking TT, If I had known about it when I bought my JVC Victor, I might have preferred it. One for a decent price, you would need to add one or two tonearms to this price, and a cartridge
I will say, if the Spinner has issues, there are less Luxman spares around than the TT81, and the TT81 costs less |
Dear @hodu : Just forgeret of those opinions about vintage TTs that comes with no warranty of nothing.
The rigth road to go is exactly what you have in mind TECHNICS new units:

Last year we shipped super rare and the most complicated Victor TT-101 direct drive to Fidelis Analog for refurbishing and calibration, if you have money it’s not a big deal to make your vintage DD just like new (if there is a problem).

@elliottbnewcombjr , I think you might want to put your piano somewhere else. Play your system loud, open the top of you piano and stick your head down in there. It is a symphony of resonance. That is precisely what it was designed to do!. I had to move our Parlor Grand because of this. |
