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?

Had a JVC QLY5F and Thorens 126.

I prefer the Thorens and gave the JVC to a friend as a gift.

It was a very enjoyable table. Beautful rosewood finish. Automatic everything, servo's in the tonearm for tracking,etc. nice little led display.

With a Shure Type 5, it would track any record I had easily.

I really enjoyed it and it was totally trouble free.

I'll take low output coils and suspended any day, but, if you want automatic take a gander at a JVC QL if you have the chance.

Have Fun.
