Direct Drive
I am firmly in the digital camp, but I’ve dabbled in vinyl. Back in the day I was fascinated by Technics Direct Drive tt, but couldn’t afford them. I was stuck with my entry level Gerrard. I have been sans turntable for about 5 years now but the new gear bug is biting. I am interested in the Technics 1500 which comes with an Ortofon Red and included pre amp. I have owned Rega P5 which I hated for its speed instability and a Clearaudio Concept which was boring as hell.
Direct Drive was an anathema to audiophiles in the nineties but every time I heard one it knocked my socks off. What do the analogers here think of Direct Drive? I listen to Classical Music exclusively

Obviously, you'd be back to the best table you can strive for.... Actually I went to the Clearaudio site, products tonearms scroll down and they're all there....although there's more of them about... I've been curious about diy'g a tang, as that's about as well. If you've the chance to hear one regardless of the cart....won't hurt, 'cept the price. *L*
