Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ?


Let's say those that appeared within the last five years or so.
Pear Audio appears to be one of them.

And what cartridge do you use with it, Ralph?
The new SL1200 arm will handle most of the Grados and likely a few others (Micro Benz, Lyra). If you're getting the SP-10 then whatever cartridge works with the arm you install.
Technics was out of the game for a while. So they are now a new contender, with two new designs, the SL-1200G and the new SP-10. They are the most speed stable designs available.

I've yet to see the new SP-10, but the SL1200 employed 5 different means of vibration control including a damped platter. In stock form it is a very impressive machine (and from the ground up a different design than its distant SL1200 forebears); we got one and mounted a 12" Triplanar on it.
