Ortofon Century Turntable…Any thoughts or experiences?


Hello all,

Wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts regarding the Ortofon Century turntable?

https://www.ortofon.com/ortofon-century-tt-p-890

I’ve been a direct-drive turntable owner (Technics 1200 MKII, several Denon models including current VL12 Prime) because I always valued this design’s ability to maintain accuracy and pitch.  But I’m interested in trying out a good belt-drive, especially one with an electronic speed control, which this model has.  It seems like a really complete, ready-to-play package.  The model has been discontinued for a few years now, but used prices are definitely competitive with the other ‘tables I’m considering such as the Technics 1200-G and SOTA models (non-vacuum).

Thanks for any feedback.  Hope everyone’s doing well!

Or, just buy a 1200G for less $$$, and be done with it, at least until you get another buyer’s itch.
