@chakster please don't hold back any suggestions regardless of price. The least pricey that sounds as good or better than much more expensive the better. you were thinking Jelco right?
Thanks @chackster i was going mention sony pua models. Would you say your above choices are superior to anything sony made armwise? I may sell my technics 1200mk2 after i get the sp15..the sp15 come in a huge plinth
Im surprised your keeping your luxmans in place of your top technics.
I prefer sp15 over 10mk2 because of the pitch control. Dont get why technics engineers couldnt add that basic feature in that special table. Yet sp10 and the mk3 had it. Baffles me. Pitch control is essential on any table i dont care what anyone says
I already have idler drives that play 4speeds just looking for a direct and belt drive that plays 3 speeds with 78rpm being essential and pitch control is a must
@chakster im going to start looking for a victor 7045. Have you ever critically listened to 7045 and directly assessed it against a Sme 3009/3012, Ortofon, Saecs, Technics 100, 250, 500, Stax, Jelcos, Regas, Ats, Fidelity Research, etc? What were your sonic conclusions?
