I am looking at the top end of the manufacturers: so I was considering the Technics SP10R or SL1000R, the AMG Viella V12 (or similar), or the SME 30/2 or similar.
If all the turntables are as good as another, then I suppose I would go with the Technics, due to ease of moving/fewer parts. If that's the case, then I suppose it just comes down to the tonearm/cartridge, and less so for the turntable?
