What would the disadvantages of a direct drive table be. I am selling my belt drive rig to upgrade to a new rig and during the down time thought about getting a vintage table to play with. I have seen some nice direct drive tables for excellent prices, but not sure if I should pull the trigger based on some comments I have gotten. Considering Teres just unveiled a direct drive model the concept can't be all that bad. I'm sure price point is a factor, but in any case what would be some top direct drive tables to consider, vintage and other.
Anyone into quality vintage direct drive?
I grew tired of the Thorens 124 (Sold it) and am experimenting with vintage direct drive tables. Any suggestions?
