Hmm.
Maybe i can be of help here. I have had virtually all the rare direct drive decks from japan.
The very best, which is strange, is the broadcast Denon DN-308 with the DP-100 motor unit. Its a big beast and ultra rare but worth the hassle.
The technics sp-10 mk3 is a stunning table.
Denon DP-100 also up there with the best.
1. Denon DN-308
2. Denon DP100 and Technics SP-10mk3
3. Pioneer Exlcusive P3
4. Nak T-1000 (when its working properly)
5. Sony PSX9
6. Yamaha GT-2000X
7. Micro Seiki DDX1500 and Pioneer P10
I've had more but you asked for direct drive.
