Wrm57, I don't know to which turntables you refer, but these are some of the ones I have heard in fairly good systems:
Sota
Basis
TW
Clearaudio
Teres
Walker
SME
Brinkman
Dobbins The Beat
I don't have firm ideas as to their differences as I've only heard SME tables in my own system. But I do have impressions about their differences. The systems I did hear these tables in all sounded different, some very much so. I can not extrapolate how much the turntables contributed to the sounds, let alone the arms or cartridges. But I do have impressions about the tables in terms of speed accuracy, isolation, extension and neutrality. They are my impressions only and others, I'm sure would have different ideas.
I do have firm ideas about the SME Model 10 and SME Model 30/12 which you could email me about privately. I don't want to bore others.
I do think what some consider minor sonic differences may be considered major by others.
