IMHO is a better TT than the Denon/Marantz.

That's saying something--that Marantz 6300 was pretty danged good.

I had a Hitachi DD from that era that was a real sleeper. I've had a hard time even finding pics of it online. It imaged like a bandit, especially with a Grado Z1+. I was surprised that--as good as the Technics SL12x0 series is from that era, I think this Hitachi spread a better soundstage. That's also how I remember the Marantz.
